What an amazing weekend in Chicago last week at the Elks Hoop Shoot National Finals. The top 72 competitors, 12 in each division, were on hand to compete for the title of Elks Hoop Shoot National Champion. Colorado was well represented by Paisley Gould of Tri-City Elks Lodge #2541 in the 8-9 yr old girls division and Kate Howe of La Junta Lodge #701 in the 12-13 yr old girls division. Paisley made 21 of 25 shots to finish 5th in the nation, while Kate connected on 21 of 25 shots as well to finish 4th in the nation! Colorado truly was proud of these girls accomplishments.

This is a great article about a girl with grit and her motivating coach. Abrielle has always shown true grit. From the first time she stepped into Colorado State Competition in the 8-9 division. She continued to make her appearance there until her grit paid off and she made it to the National Finals her last year of eligibility. It has been exciting to watch her accomplishments through high school!! Can't wait to see where she will go!!

Assistant Commissioner Rashaan Davis wrote a shortened version of the story below for the NFHS.
