The team competition series is an activity that breaks down the entire football roster into smaller teams that compete against each other in categories such as community service hours, academics, Football IQ, along with various physical competitions. This week’s physical competition was basketball featuring three different challenges: Free Throw competition, three point competition, and half court shot competition.
