Do's and Don'ts of Registering
This comment came to me from Phillip:
Pre-registration is not required. However, a parent's signature on the entry form is required. Forms are available at the school office and will also be available the day of the contest. There are NO fees to participate. In addition, all contestants should remain in the gym as a playoff may be necessary. I don't anticipate the contest lasting more than 2 hours.
Council Free Throw Results
It sounds like the tournament went well. I got this update from Phillip:
District Winners and Awards Presentation
Due to a scheduling snafu, Council 616 was unable to hold their tournament. Nor will there be a District Tournament, since we will have been the only council in District 3 to hold one. Our winners are automatically the District 3 champions, as well.
Fr. Martell announced at the meeting this past Monday that he wants to make a presentation to our winners after the 8:15 Mass. Phillip Kenny will be there with the District Champion medals. I would encourage any other Knight who can to come show support for our winners.
