It has been brought to my attention that I missed reporting a very exciting event that took place at the South Lake Tahoe Basketball Jamboree, that is the "free throw" shooting contest. All the participating athletes were entered into the contest, somewhere between 80 and 300 hundred girls, a lot closer to 80 than 300, in which they shot free throws in about four separate rounds. The girls were divided into 12 or so groups in two gyms and had a five free throw 1st round shoot-out. The winners of the first round then had a shoot-out, and on and on. The two Molly's both did very well, one hitting 4 out of 5 free throws but somehow did not qualify because she did not win her group because 3 others hit 5 of 5, while the other Molly made 3 out of 5, best in her group, and make the final rounds. This reporter is not bitter in any way, but thought it odd the the better percentage resulted in absolutely no glory :-(
Teammates Kara and "4 out of 5" Molly attempt to keep the ball away from Molly before the finals.
As you may have picked up, Molly Farrar entered the finals and destroyed the opposition and won the "2010 South Lake Tahoe Basketball Jamboree Free Throw Championship". Quoting from the movie Brave Heart, "They can take our lives, but they cannot take our Free Throw Championship" something like that:-)
Molly refuses to shoot her free throws without a defender
Molly and friends celebrate her victory (The girl on the right doesn't seem to happy)
Way to go Molly F., we expected a great season at the free throw line from a proven champion:-)
