Eight children from the Monroe area recently participated in the 2025 Knights of Columbus Free Throw Championship; four were crowned champions. Monroe Council 2079 sponsored the local competition at the Sacred Heart school gymnasium. All youngsters ages 9 to 14 were eligible to participate.
Lucia Guzman captured the girl’s 9-year-old category. Joshua Pallares was victorious in the boy’s 10-year-old division. Austin Bernsley battled it out to capture the title for the boy’s 13-year-old category. Andy Becerril walked away with the crown in the boy’s 14-year-old division. There were no participants for the other divisions. Each contestant was allowed 15 free-throw attempts. The winners will continue to the District level competition scheduled for Monday, February 17.
Monroe Council 2079 sponsors this event every January. Look for announcements in the December/early January editions of The Photo News for competition details. Congratulations to all the winners!
