A couple of Wrangell kids scored victories in the state Elks Hoop Shoot competition.
Jude Johnson placed second in the state among boys 10 and 11 years old, with his score of sinking 15 of 25 free throws at the Wrangell event.
Connor Blake placed third in the state among boys 12 and 13 years old, with his score of making 18 of 25 shots.
They were among the half-dozen kids who placed first in Wrangell’s annual Hoop Shoot in November. Their scores were sent to the state director, who ranked their record against first-place finishers from the 14 other Elks Lodges across the state to determine the Alaska champions.
The Elks Hoop Shoot — more than 50 years old — is a nationwide event for children ages 8 through 13.
