K of C 5103 KOFCFT XX
It looks for the 20th Time The Competition will have seen operation in the 10th Decade of the 20th Century, the 1st & 2nd Decades of the 21st Century & became Video Programming in this 2nd Decade.
It is not only FT XX, but the 20th Anniversary of this competition. The 1st Contingent of Contestants have entered their 30s.
I took a look at the areas of Queens covered, by the NYPD Precincts the competitions occurred in. Eight of them took place in the confines of the 104 Precinct, taking place at Christ The King High School, once, Sacred Heart-East Glendale in 1993, 1996, 1999, & 2003. There was one held in St. Pancras in 1994 & twice at Resurrection-Ascension. Two took place in the confines of the 102 Precinct(St. Mary Gate Of Heaven in 2000 & 2001), one in the confines of the 110 Precinct(St. Adalbert's in 2004) & one in the confines of the 75 Precinct(The LI 197- Msgr Sherman 5103 Historical Joint Venture). There have been a total of 7 Competitions in the confines of the 112th Precinct, in 1997, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 & 2011. 2012 looks to be the 8th Time it is held in Forest Hills.
It was in 2005 when under Ralph Kleeman's Chairmanship that the Free Throw found a new direction. Of course, a trip to my old Brooklyn Neighborhood, breathed new life into the competition. Blessed Sacrament Parish Centre on Pine Street, was home to the Greatest Competition in St. Sylvester Council's History. So it is appropriate that Msgr. Sherman Council 5103 should do the same thing. From that competition one Keandra Leong, age 11, won the NY State Final of the Knights of Columbus Free Throw. She came from Our Lady of Mercy in Forest Hills. So, from 2006 onward, the competition moved to PS 101Q in Forest Hills, Queens, under Our Lady of Mercy Recreation's Supervision & Cooperation. Many memories come from this location.
In 2011, the historic Video Coverage over various Video Sharing Services, came from this competition. It was also the 1st Competition Coverage ever to appear on services other than YouTube. 6487 Viewers watched Preliminary, Council, District, Queens County & Long Island Final Competitions over various networks. With 28 K of C Jurisdictions using YouTube, only the 5103, District 28, Queens County & Long Island Competitions were carried outside of YouTube, for the 1st Time in K of C Free Throw History. And these were full competitions & not a couple of highlights slapped together.
Kayla Petrowicz is the "Rock Star" of the blip.tv coverage, while Jason Camus is the "Rockstar" of the Vimeo.com Coverage. It is proof that this competition has moved beyond the YouTube Stage.
Now, THAT Is Good News.
