SYCAMORE – It came down to the last round.

Brendan Fritz and Benji Prendergast had tied for the most free throws made for boys ages 12-13 in the Hoops Shoot Free Throw Contest last Saturday morning at Sycamore High School.  Co-sponsored by the Sycamore Elks Club B.P.O.E. 1392 and the Sycamore Park District, the contest was part of the Elks’ national competition.

According to Lisa White of the park district, the contest was divided into three age groups for girls and boys: 8-9, 10-11 and 12-13. Each group had two rounds. In the first, competitors shot 10 free throws; in the second, 15. The top two place finishers in each group moved on to the next level.
