Mary Stewart wins state free throw<br />
contest for second year in a row<br />
MISSION – Mary did it again.<br />
The fifth grader at Washington Elementary School has won <strong>the</strong> state Elks Free<br />
Throw contest for <strong>the</strong> second year in a row. If she wins regionals in Vancouver, Wash.<br />
on March 5, she’ll qualify for <strong>the</strong> national contest again.<br />
Last year she won <strong>the</strong> regional contest sinking 21 <strong>of</strong> 25 free throws and was fourth<br />
in <strong>the</strong> nation last year with <strong>the</strong> same numbers.<br />
The daughter <strong>of</strong> Joann Stewart and Tim Burns, Mary won <strong>the</strong> local competition at<br />
Pendleton High School hitting 21 <strong>of</strong> 25 shots, <strong>the</strong> county competition in Hermiston<br />
hitting 16 <strong>of</strong> 25, and <strong>the</strong> state title in Portland canning 20 <strong>of</strong> 25.<br />
Stewart, tight lipped and hesitant to give up a smile, practices almost daily at school,<br />
at home, or on Sundays during youth practice in <strong>the</strong> Nixyaawii Community gym.<br />
“I practice over and over and over,” she said.<br />
The right-handed Stewart, who has played since kindergarten, said she doesn’t<br />
really get nervous. If she does you’d never know it from her stoic expression. She’s<br />
been behind before but didn’t let it rattle her. Her best streak is 14 in a row.<br />
Stewart said she receives help in her practices from her mo<strong>the</strong>r, her grandfa<strong>the</strong>r,<br />
Leo Stewart, and friend Osias Edmiston.<br />
