Mom vs. Son Basketball Event
Fighting with Free Throws
Join the Falcons and the Lady Falcons basketball teams again this year in Fighting With Free Throws!
Between February 1st & February 12th, Blair Oaks’ basketball coaches invite any and all students to shoot 100 free throws to raise money for the American Cancer Society. Athletes will find sponsors to pledge money for each free throw made. After athletes shoot the free throws they will need to collect donations/pledges. Pledge sheets and donations should be turned in to the high school office by Thursday, February 13th. Students can shoot at home or in a gym, just keep track of your makes! The high school gym will be open February 12, from 3:00 PM-5:00 PM for students to shoot if they are unable to on their own.
The presentation of the check to the American Cancer Society will be held between the JV and Varsity boys game against Jefferson City High School on February 14, 2020.
Share videos of you making your free throws on Twitter using #fightwithfreethrows. Be sure to tag @BlairOaksHoops & @LadyFLCNHoops.
