The Saginaw Diocesan Free Throw was held at Merrill High School Gym on Sunday Feb. 11th. Boys and girls ages 9yrs to 14yrs came from across the Saginaw Diocese to compete in the Free Throw.

 

We would like to deeply thank Merrill High School AD Jason Buckley for all that he did for us hosting both the Spelling Bee and Free Throw. We would also like to thank our Brother Knights and ladies that help run the competition.

 

Free Throw competition and sportsmanship was great by all youth. Below is a list and a picture of the twelve Saginaw Diocesan winners that will move onto Michigan Knights of Columbus State Competition.

 

Good luck to everyone!
