TWENTY WHK Mildura Junior Heat teams contested the basketball season’s biggest event over the Australia Day weekend in Bendigo.
The tournament featured 166 teams with strong metropolitan representation, including the Frankston Blues, Nunawading Spectres and the Broadmeadows Broncos.
Mildura Basketball Association manager Adam Tarr was pleased with the efforts of the Mildura youngsters.
“Across the board our results were pretty solid and to have two teams win their Division One competitions is fantastic given the level of quality teams we faced in all grades,” he said.
“The level of improvement in our teams is really starting to show since August, when we started our Junior Heat tryouts, and the kids will get another chance to impress when we travel to Wodonga for their tournament over the weekend of February 11 and 12.”
