Our Hoop Shooters all did well and brought home many trophies. The highlight was one girl who won the 12-13 Girls division with a score of 25 out of 25. This performance also made her the high scoring shooter in the regional. In 25 shots, she only hit the rim once.

She will be representing Illinois at the national finals in Springfield, Mass on April 24, 2010.

You can send her congratulations and best wishes via the Grand Lodge website within the North Region.
