Grace Strickland became the first female winner of the Hoopsfix All-Star Classic 3-Point Shootout to kickstart the 2024 edition.

The Bella Vista prep school guard beat last year’s champion William Issekya on the buzzer in the final round to finish with a winning score of 12.

Issekya only just advanced to the final itself, also on the buzzer, as his score of 13 was enough for second place in the first round in front of Liv Forster’s 12 and behind Strickland’s 14.

Six contestants tried to claim the sharpshooter title in the mixed gender event with Alix McIntosh, Liv Forster, Khyle Capanzana and Joe Buchanan missing out in the first round.

Full results:

First round: Alix McIntosh 7, Liv Forster 12, Grace Strickland 14, Khyle Capanzana 9, Joe Buchanan 10, William Issekya 13

Final round: Grace Strickland 12, William Issekya 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.
