4th Annual B Boys Free Throw Shooting Competition

2005 winner - Chua Jun Chang
2006 winner - Eugene Luah
2007 winner - Chua Jun Chang 'Legend'
2008 winner - ?



On the 2nd April 2008, Fajar basketball organised the 4th edition of the popular Free Throw Shooting Competition for the B Boys.


This year's competition saw 19 players take part. The early favourite was Chua Jun Chang, who has earned his nickname 'Legend' for his prowess in putting away free throws into the basket. He has an excellent record in this competition, winning the title twice.


In the first round, however, the legend was eliminated by Ben John Ruiz, who displayed a cool head to score more baskets.



The first round also saw Lim Zi Ting put in 10 out of 11 baskets - an astonishing record - as he eliminated Roy Lim.


In the final, Ben outlasted Lim Zi Ting in the battle of nerves. Both were very nervous and eventually, Ben managed to score more baskets - but just by a bit.


The final top 4 positions are -

champion - Ben John Ruiz
2nd - Lim Zi Ting
3rd - Kho Zhi Cheng
4th - Zhang Wenxing

Hotshot of the competition - Lim Zi Ting (10 shots out of 11)


Congratulations to the winner, and credit to all who took part in this great contest of skill, mental strength and confidence:
