(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.

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

Team members include: Grady Walter, Mason Hamlett, Noah Rogers, Josh Pettit, Alex Probst, Izaak Lozier, and Elliot Meek.
