The Knights of Columbus hosted a little March Madness after its February free-throw event was delayed due to a snowy forecast.
KoC Bishop Burke Council 11285 held its annual free-throw contest March 2 at the Oak Orchard Boys & Girls Club, where kids took their shots at winning prizes.
The event culminated with a $100 donation to the club.
Working the registration table are (l-r) Richard Glorioso, Steven Cirino and Don Clark.
