Today you can watch three South Dakota kids compete in the Elks National Hoop Shoot Finals, using the link above. You can also join us at the Deadwood #508 Elks Lodge for a watch party.

Caralina Mebius is in the 10-11 year old division from the Brookings Lodge. The 8-9 year olds shoot first at 10 a.m., so I can't give you an exact time. I would guess around 11:15 CT.

At 2:30 p.m. CT, Hudson Myers (Deadwood Lodge) and Emily Crawford (Rapid City Lodge) will compete in the 12-13 year old division.

Go South Dakota!
