The Knights of Columbus, in conjunction with Brian Crockett, the Naples Recreation director, held a Free Throw Competition at the Lake Region Middle School gym on March 1. 

Twenty-three boys and girls between the ages of 9 and 14 competed within their age and gender group with winners being eligible to compete in the Knights of Columbus state competition in Old Town. There were previous, as well as, new participants in this event coming from the surrounding towns of Bridgton, Naples and Casco, as well as from Minot and New Hampshire.

One of the winners, Delany White of Milan, N.H., won the state title in the 11-year-old girl’s division.

This is the second year this event has taken place at the Lake Region Middle School gym and hopefully for many years to come.
