This year the Murrells Inlet Elks and Georgetown County Parks & Recreation stepped up the free throw competition by holding preliminary shoots in Andrews, Georgetown and Waccamaw. There were 73 participants that competed for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place slots at the finals held in Georgetown's Winyah Gym on Saturday Dec. 20. The competition was very close in all age groups for both the boys and girls.
The Under 8 age group is a local program that was introduced in 2007 to help encourage younger kids to start participating and training. The girls and boys shoot free throws on a eight-foot goal with a smaller ball. This year's participants received a certificate for participating in the local competition.
The first place winners will move on to the state competition Lugoff-Eldgin High School to compete against girls and boys from more than 15 area Elks Lodges on Feb. 21, 2009.
