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.
The skills competition is always fun with lots of spectators. There was an obstacle course, a 3-point contest and a free throw contest. For the obstacle course and 3 point contest, one male and one female members was chosen from each house. The same person was not permitted to compete twice. For the free throw contest everyone participated, one squad member after the other attempting free throws.
