DALLAS — At a recent gathering at the Dallas Leggio’s restaurant, congratulations were extended and an International Championship Trophy was presented to Ben O’Connell, the 2013-14 International Champion of the 14-year-old boys’ Knights of Columbus Free Throw competition. The local competition is sponsored by the Dallas Knights of Columbus Council 8224.
International winners not only demonstrated their athletic ability in free-throw shooting, but also demonstrated outstanding conduct and resolve throughout the levels of the competition.
O’Connell has continued improving his basketball skills with the freshman team at Dallas High School.
Ben is the son of Tom and Trish O’Connell, Dallas; and his biggest supporters are his grandparents Frank and Polly Michael, Dallas; Marilyn O’Connell, Dallas and the late John O’Connell.
