SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE _
Young student athletes from Hanes Hosiery recently
dominated the Winston-Salem Recreation Department's
. annual Two-Ball Championship.
During the competition that featured representatives
from recreation centers from across the city, boys and
girls made their own teams of two to see which team
could sink the most shots from various marked spots on
the basketball court. The total combined scores of the
competition are added together for a team score.
This year the event included a new twist. A three-point
and free throw contest were added to round out the team
competition and scoring.
While a number of dead-eye shooters showed their
abilities during the contest, kids from Hanes Hosiery real
ly put on a great show. Not only did they take home the
city-wide championship, they also picked up victories in
the 9-11 boys and girls divisions.
The duo of Darren "DJ" Pegues, and Evan Dunlap
took home the championship for the boys, while Carlissa
Potter and Jayla Summers took home the title in the girls'
division. <

Center. Charlotte Craver teamed up with Eva Koivisto to
win the girls' division trophy for Old Town Recreation
Center.

said the students put on a great shooting exhibition. He
also said he was proud to see the kids' hard work pay off.
"We had a lot of great .young shooters participating in
our event this year," he said. "I am very proud."
