Free throw contest held at Frazee High School

The Sacred Heart Council #12581 of the Knights of Columbus held their 2023 Free Throw Championship on Sunday, Jan. 22 at the Frazee High School. The event drew area kids between the ages of 9-14 to showcase their basketball shooting skills. 

Champions in the girls’ division were Aricka Moore, Rachael Courneya, Madillyn Branden, Katie Courneya, and Jayden Sonnenberg. 

Boys’ division champions were Coltyn Pender, Jace Mekalson, Ben Reierson, and Noah Mekalson. 

Each of these winners will now compete in the district competition to be held in February at Holy Rosary School in Detroit Lakes, with an eye toward moving on to the jurisdictional and international levels.

The Knights of Columbus is the world’s largest Catholic fraternal service organization. Founded in 1882 to assist working-class and immigrant Catholics in the United States, today the approximately two million members of the Knights put their faith into action through a broad range of charitable causes locally, nationally, and internationally with financial contributions and hands-on service.
