Two Katy Youth Advance to Elks State Free Throw Contest

One week after the Katy Elks Lodge hosted Hoop Shoot, an annual free throw competition, two of the six winners who advanced to the district level are now on their way to compete at the state level.

Macy Ray, winner in the 12-13 girls’ category, and Bennett Hanks, 8-9 boys’ winner, will be representing the Gulf Coast district this weekend in Dallas. This is Hanks’ first trip to state, while Ray will be enjoying her third time there. Last year, Ray advanced to the national competition, where she placed fourth. Katy has always provided strong competition to other Elks Lodges in the Hoop Shoot scholarship program. Please mention you found this on www.KatyMagazine.com.
