This Being A Busy Week-It Ends Saturday With The Knights Of Columbus Free Throw

Thirty Years Ago, St Sylvester Council #6194, then in City Line Brooklyn, became a Pioneer with their 1st Rendition of The Knights Of Columbus Free Throw Basketball Contest:

They've spawned 2 Contests. Long Island Council #197 went Solo in 1989, after being in 2 Joint Ventures with St Sylvester, in 1985 & 1986. I had chaired both Contests for St Sylvester Council's Side & ran 4 of their Contests;

St Sylvester Council would spawn another Contest, as the Chairman of 5 St Sylvester Contests would run 10 Of 12 Msgr Sherman Council Contests & is a Past Grand Knight of Msgr Sherman Council;

FT XVI will be this Saturday. From FT IV, would Come a Long Island Championship & from FT XIII, a State Champion would come, from the Joint Venture With those Joint Venture Experts @ Long Island Council #197, live from Blessed Sacrament Hall on Pine Street, just off Fulton Street in Cypress Hills, Brooklyn. Blessed Sacrament Hall was also host to St. Sylvester 6194's Greatest Triumph, where the Council had 3 Kings County Champions & a Downstate Champion, named Karen Fleming. Karen's Sister was the Mom of 1994 12 Girls Queens Champion Jamie Jones. Karen's Brother, Tom, was chairman of St Adalbert's Recreation & our Host at St Adalbert's Recreation Center in Elmhurst, in January, '04, which signified the return of St Sylvester School to competition after being out of it for 11 Years. & now, St Sylvester Council has returned to active competition;

To understand the Success of the 5103 Contest, it took a detour into St Mary Gate of Heaven-Ozone Park, where Old Time St Sylvester Sports Officials, ruled the roost. Even the 5103 Contest's Biggest Saboteur, once was a member of St Sylvester 6194 & a Past Grand Knight of Msgr Sherman 5103;

The Sylvestrian Roots live on, even in Forest Hills, with another Chairman, who took the Trip to Cypress Hills, Brooklyn;

It's Been A Grand Time;
