Sports
On Friday, March 11, XIS held the first ever XIS Basketball All Star Weekend! As the end of season basketball tournament was not able to be held, a new challenge was created to help our Varsity teams finish their season strong! Throughout the event, the XIS players showed their growth over the past season; not only physically, but emotionally, socially, and morally as well.
For the All Star Weekend, students competed in the following skills contests: 3-Point Contest, Free Throw Contest, Hot Shot Contest, Dribble Skills Contest, and Dribble Skills Relay. These events were also joined by a 3 on 3 co-ed tournament with each of XIS’ 3 Senior Basketball players serving as team captains.


After sound showings in the preliminary rounds for the skills contests, the championship rounds were set. Following these preliminary rounds the placement matches for the 3 on 3 tournament began and the fierce competition continued. After 3 games of round-robin play, the 3 on 3 Championship teams were decided.
Each championship contest and game seemed to feature it’s own unique dramatic finish as each student gave their very best! For the 3 on 3 Tournament Championship and final event of the day, Mikey Kahler made a 15 foot jumper with 4.6 seconds remaining to help his team clinch the victory.
Here are all Championship and Placement results for the Skills Contests and 3 on 3 Tournament.
