9 am-noon Saturday (December 2) in the gym at Lafayette Elementary (2645 California SW), the Burien Elks – whose wide service area includes West Seattle – will be holding a “hoop shoot” contest, part of a national competition for kids 8 through 13. The top scorers will move on to district competition, followed by state and nationals. There’s a chance to win scholarships through the Elks National Foundation. No preregistration required – just show up! If you have questions, squareknot85@gmail.com is how to reach local tournament director Mark Komac.
