Planoite wins free throw contest

Brian Hallum was red hot from the charity stripe Saturday in Carrollton, winning the Texas Elks State Association Hoop Shoot Free Throw Contest.

Hallum, who attends Daffron Elementary, won the 8-9 year old boys division, which featured eight other district champions from around the state. He did so by sinking 20-of-25 attempts from the free throw line and an additional 5-of-5 in a tie-breaking shootout for the competition's top spot.

The Planoite advances to the four-state regional contest, which is March 23 in Carrollton. Should Hallum emerge victorious there, the national finals are Apr. 20 in Springfield, Mass.

Cline clutch in conference clincher

Niagra freshman TJ Cline, a Plano West alum, helped propel the Purple Eagles to their first-ever outright Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference regular season title Saturday afternoon.

Cline scored 14 points in Niagra's 78-61 victory over St. Peter's.

Niagara will be the No.1 seed when the MAAC Tournament begins Saturday in Springfield, Mass.

Ohashi wins American Cup

Katelyn Ohashi made her Senior gymnastics debut a memorable one as she won the all-around competition at the American Cup, which took place March 2 at the DCU Center in Worcester, Mass.

The 15-year-old Planoite trains at WOGA.

Ohashi, a top contender to make the National Team for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, won the first event of the World Cup season with an all-around score of 59.199. Contributing mightily to that mark was her 15.733 on the vault, the highest score in competition.

Ohashi was the 2011 U.S. Junior Champion.

Groselle a Senior CLASS finalist

The Citadel senior Mike Groselle is a finalist for the Senior Class Award in men's basketball.

Groselle is a Plano West alum.

The award combines community, classroom, character and competition in its voting process.

Groselle excels in those categories.

The center is 13th on The Citadel's all-time points list (1,238), third in rebounds (686) and eighth in field goals (501). Groselle has the highest field goal percentage in the program's 102-year history and is the all-time leader in career double-doubles (25) and single season double-doubles (14 in 2011-12).

Groselle, who averaged 16.4 points and 7.3 rebounds per game in conference, was tabbed all-conference by the Southern Conference coaches and second team all-conference by the media.

Groselle has done well off the court too as the civil engineering major holds a 3.693 GPA.

Fan voting, which accounts for one-third of the final tally, is open at: seniorclassaward.com.

Fans can vote once a day until March 25.

Anderson picks up offers to Navy, Rice

The recruiting of Plano West junior running back Auston Anderson continues to heat up.

Anderson received his first official offer Feb. 6, Signing Day for the Class of 2013, when Northwestern came calling. Add Rice and Navy to that list with the former offering Feb. 15 and the latter Monday afternoon.

The interest in Anderson makes sense.

The 5-foot-8, 175-pounder was a first team all-district and all-Collin County selection after rushing for 1,156 yards and 13 touchdowns.

West already has one Class of 2014 commit as linebacker Lance Cottrell is pledged to SMU.

Hansen helps Harvard win

Harvard girls track and field won the Ivy League Indoor Championships for the first time since 2000 last weekend.

Freshman Madison Hansen, a Plano East alum, played a part by placing fifth in the pentathlon. The Crimson received two points from Hansen and her score of 3,587 was the fourth-best pentathlon mark ever recorded at Harvard.

Dolberry sets scoring mark

Palm Beach Atlantic senior Ashley Dolberry, a Plano Senior alum, became her college's all-time leading scoring last week.

Dolberry's career mark of 1,132 points surpassed that of Jo Jo Vital-Herne (Class of 2002).

Dolberry set the record with 23 points on the road versus Barry University. The accolades don't stop there as Dolberry was recently named to the Capital One Division II Academic All-America second team. Dolberry, who will attend dentistry school after graduation, holds a 3.96 GPA to go along with her team-best 15.3 points and 9.6 rebounds per game.
