The basketball tournament happened over the weekend. It’s a high paced competition with many parts. There are separate 3 on 3 girls and boys basketball tournaments, a skills competition consisting of an obstacle course, a three point contest and a whole house free throw contest; the final component is a full court tournament.

For the free throw contest everyone participated, one squad member after the other attempting free throws.
