Alexa Werneck and Ethan Flowers both competed in the Knights of Columbus state free throw competition last weekend. The Dexter youths traveled to Helias Catholic School in Jefferson City, where they faced competition in the 10 year old (Werneck) and 14 year old (Flowers) divisions.

Werneck came in second place, knocking down 20/25 free throws - a new personal best. She was barely defeated, as the overall winner knocked down 22/25.

Flowers finished in fourth place overall, also hitting 20/25 free throws. The 14 year old boys division was incredibly tough this year, with the winner missing just one free throw in the contest.

Alexa is a fourth grader, and is the daughter of Chad and Amber Werneck. Ethan is an eighth grader, and is the son of Tim and Kim Flowers. Both are students in the Dexter Public Schools system.
