Center Point Urbana Free Throw Shooting Contest

On Saturday, Center Point Urbana Elementary School held their annual free throw shooting contest. This was Dylanne's first year to participate. The object was to make as many free throws in one minutes time. For the younger kids, they lowered the basket, moved them closer and had them shoot with a smaller ball. Dylanne practiced a couple times throughout the week and it was very frustrating for her, but she decided to go through with the contest anyway. Much to our surprise, Dylanne got first place for her grade, making 4 baskets in one minute. She got a trophy and was so proud of herself. Heather and I were very proud of her as well and hoped that she learned a lesson in trying things she's never done before. Thanks to John and Denise Harris for helping out as well with practicing. Both of their kids, Dylan and Jay got first place in their grade level as well.Here is Dylanne with her trophy.
