On January 27, the Plant City Elks Lodge 1727 sent five youths to Port Orange to compete in the State Central Regional Hoop Shoot contest. Baylor Mueller will be moving on to the State Hoop Shoot contest held on February 17, at the Florida State Elks Youth Camp in Umatilla, FL.
In the hoop shoot, both male and female participants across three different age groups — ranging from eight to 13 years old — each got their opportunity to shoot 25 free throws.
