HBA 4K Shot Challenge
The HBA 4K Shot Challenge, sponsored by the Hopkinton Independent, was an event held in April and May for HBA and Hopkinton Rec basketball players in Grades 3-8, boys and girls. Participants were challenged to make a total of 4,000 shots in a month. Shots were to be taken from a variety of locations — layups (both right and left), free throws, jumpers from all over the court — and at game speed — i.e. dribbling quickly to different spots, shooting on the move, mixing in shot fakes, driving strong to the basket — and with good form.
The following players were successful in the endeavor and received a commemorative T-shirt. Additionally, the HBA and the Hopkinton Independent combined to donate $20 to Project Just Because for every player who made 4,000 shots.
