Valley View students show off free throw skills

November 14, 2023

Fourth and fifth graders at Valley View Elementary have been practicing their basketball free throw shots for the annual Elk’s Hoop Shoot contest. Many coaches say that free throws win or lose games and these students are putting in the work to win future basketball games! On Friday, the class finalists competed in the school competition in front of peers and family members. Several Bonners Ferry High School basketball athletes helped with the event and it was a huge success!

Taking top honors for the 8-9 year old division was Aliyah Koberstein and Evan Turner. In the 10-11 year old division, Bradon Cartwright-Kissee shot 18 out of 25 free throws to win and Delaney Weymer took the medal for the girls.

All four school winners will compete at the next level in Sandpoint on Saturday, November 18.
