Drew competed today in the District "Hoop Shoot" contest at Pacelli High School in Austin. He competed against 4 other local champions (Owatonna, Winona, Austin, & Worthington).
It was another nail biter... just like in Rochester. Drew and Johnny Hernandez from Owatonna each made 17/25 free throws. They were tied for first place. Each had to shoot 5 more free throws. The winner moves on to the state contest in Huntchinson. The loser... goes home. Even with approximately 200 people in the stands....you could hear a pin drop. Hernandez calmly drains all 5 of his bonus free throws. Now its time for Drew to shoot his 5. Drew hit his first 4 shots... but missed his 5th. After he missed his last shot, the crowd cheered loudly for both of the boys.
Drew handled the pressure so well! We are very proud of him!
Drew insisted on wearing his Detroit Lakes Lakers t-shirt. Go Lakers!
