A basketball camp sponsored by the Tonganoxie High boys and girls basketball teams attracted 88 students.

The event brought in students from kindergarten through sixth grade. The first grade had the most campers with 17, while there were 16 second-graders.

The camp coincided with the Knights of Columbus Free Throw Championship. The contest advanced seven boys and seven girls to the district level.

Students ages 10-14 were eligible to participate in the event sponsored by Sacred Heart Council #11352 in Tonganoxie.

The participants who advanced from the event at the Tonganoxie High gymnasium were: 10-year olds, Holly Demaranville (girls) and Keith Slater (boys); 11-year-olds, Rob Schlicht (boys); 12-year-olds, Chrissie Jeannin (girls) and Blaize Oelshlaeger (boys); 13-year-olds, Ashlee Lohman (girls) and Tyson Letourneau (boys). There were no contestants in the 14-year-old division.

Each contestant was allowed 15 free-throw attempts. Ties were settled by successive rounds of five free throws per contestant until a winner emerged.

The winners from Sunday’s competition will compete in a district round at 1 p.m. Feb. 9 at Immaculata High School in Leavenworth.
