Kennedy Smith (3rd Grade) and her friend Jersey Wolf competed in a 2ball shoot-out. The girls were given 1 ball and 60 seconds to alternate shots. The court had specific spots marked that they could shoot from, all worth different points. All of the YMCAs in Illinois took the scores from this contest and the 2 highest scoring teams at each age level were invited to compete at the IHSA Girls Basketball Championship game. Kennedy and Jersey competed during halftime of the 2A game and WON!!!! The girls won a medal and a basketball along with free entry to all 4 games that day. Congratulations Kennedy and Jersey!!!
