Many years ago, At the Pulaski Elks Lodge Hoop Shoot on a cold January Sunday this young lady came in to compete for her Middle school invite as their school champion foul shot contestant. She won an invite to the district hoop shoot, won there as well. The invite to compete at statewide event came next. At the state event she was bested by a 1-point score, after shooting a tie breaker round.
Talented then and talented now. Congratulations Keslyn.
