Our very own Sarah Hansford won the 3pt contest, shooting 8 for 15, while Lauren Hawkins of Holy Heart won the free-throw contest handidly shooting 14 for 15 free throws. Our most sportsmanlike player medal was awarded to Laura Crocker who played an excellent tournament until an accident in the 2nd quarter of the quarter final against St. Kevin's. Laura more than proved her love of basketball and her dedication to the team when telling the paramedics to get out of the way so she could see the scoreboard.
