Kyle is a sixth-grade student at St. Laurence School in Elgin. He now advances to the Regional Hoop Shoot contest in Iowa City, Iowa, on March 21.
Winning that contest will allow him to participate in the national contest in Springfield, Mass., where winners names are engraved at National Basketball Hall of Fame.
