KOC Free Throw Championship

On Jan. 12, students from St. Helen School took part in round one of the Knights of Columbus Free Throw Championship, a long-standing youth program that has encouraged sportsmanship and healthy competition since 1972. The event provides boys and girls ages 9–14 an opportunity to test their basketball skills while learning the values of fairness, effort and respect. Participants compete within their age and gender groups, with the chance to advance from the local level to district, regional and even state competitions.

St. Helen’s event was made possible thanks to the support and service of parish Knights Art Oleksiak and Nick Gorris, whose dedication helped make the day a fun and meaningful experience for all involved.
