Winslow places 3rd in regional hoop shoot

Jared Winslow, Montana Champion in the 12-13-year-old boys division, took third at the Elk’s Regional Hoop Shoot Tournament on March 6 in Rapid City, S.D. He made 19 out of 25 free throws in the finals.

“One of the highlights of the tournament was watching 9-year-old Blake Finn of Big Timber win with 22 of 25. He was so excited that we all enjoyed it,” Winslow said.

Finn and the other winners advance to the national finals on April 22-25 where 72 boys and girls will compete.

More than 3 million boys and girls nationwide took part in this year’s contests, sponsored for 38 years by the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.
