Between games and during the half time of the boy’s game against McCool on Friday, FBLA members sponsored a free 3-point or free-throw line shooting contest for younger kids. Kids making a basket won a free 2-liter bottle of pop. “We try to do 3-4 things each year for the community and this is one of the favorite activities for the FBLA members.” said Kristy Most, FBLA sponsor. This looked to be a highlight for many kids too!
