Breckenridge was well represented at the Elks District Hoop Shoot competition last weekend with three local kids placing in the top three of their categories and one of those placing first and advancing to the State Hoop Shoot next month.

Millie Walling, who won the local contest earlier this month in the Girls 8-9 category, won the district contest in Arlington on Jan. 18. She will represent Breckenridge at the State Hoop Shoot on Feb. 22 in Carrollton.

This will be Millie’s second time to go to the state competition; she won the local and district contests last year, as well.

Also placing at the district contest were Cooper Walling, who came in third in the Boys 12-13 category, and Bryce Biddison, who came in third in the Boys 10-11 category.
