the last issue of the HUSKER ELK)
Keegan is the son of Jeff and Tina Hansen of Scottsbluff. The family was
guest of the Elks National Foundation in Springfield and had the opportunity to
tour historic Boston and the Basketball Hall of Fame.
More than 3 million boys and girls started the Elks Hoop Shoot competition in
all the states and possessions of the United States. Reaching the national
finals is an accomplishment in itself, but winning a trophy is a "once in a
lifetime opportunity."
