POLSON — One of our own, young Trafford Cox, participated in a more than 50-year-old Nationwide Elks tradition known as the Elks Hoop Shoot. Sponsored by the Elks National Foundation, the event is geared toward boys and girls ranging in age from 8 – 13 that show grit and competitive skills.
Trafford was sponsored by Mission Valley Elks Lodge 1695 here in Polson, located at Fifth and Main.
Trafford competed in two local shoots finishing at the top in order to participate in the tristate finals held in Rapid City, South Dakota.
Showing tremendous grit, Trafford finished third competing with kids in his age group 10 – 11, from North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana.
Congratulations to young Trafford Cox.
