(Aurora, Ind.) – A fourth grader from Aurora Elementary is a state champion.
Grady Walter won the 2018 Knights of Columbus Free Throw State Championship this past Saturday in Indianapolis.
In order to reach the state level competition, Walter won three previous free throw shooting contests, including the local contest at St. Lawrence School. At state, Walter connected on 20-of-25 (80 percent) free throws to win the competition in the nine-year-old age group.

The 4th grade Knights placed 2nd in the Carroll County Panther Classic.
