By Bradley Gains on June 19, 2021

Alex Distras was crowned the second-ever 3-Point Shoot Out champion at the 2021 Hoopsfix All-Star Classic in London, on Saturday.

The Augustana University commit opened the contest with a best score of 16 points before his final round effort of 13 was enough to beat Sam Grant and Katie Januszewska.

Distras hit three of five money-balls in his first round with a run of six straight makes across the third and fourth racks. His score of 16 was matched by Januszewska, who was aiming to become the first female winner of the mixed contest.

Grant’s opening score of 12 was enough to advance, though Maisie Evison came close to making the final after also hitting double figures with 11.

Full scores:

First round – Alex Distras 16, Sam Grant 12, Greg Wild 6, Owen Young 7, Maisie Evison 11, Ines Goryanova 7, Katie Januszewska 16, Anna Nevison 9.

Final – Katie Januszewska 8, Alex Distras 13, Sam Grant 11

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
