Bendigo Basketball congratulates our Under 14 Girls oncoming away with the gold at the National Junior Classic.
After going down to Keilor in the opening game of the tournament, Bendigo got their revenge when it mattered the most, defeating the Thunder 68-40.
“A great team performance today in the Grand Final and all weekend for the girls. Winning as a team and sticking together through everything thrown in our direction. The team adapted well to challenges and rose above to be the best in the competition. To win a tournament with the top eight Victorian teams, top four South Australian teams and top four New South Wales teams is an amazing achievement. On to the Nationals in September. What a champion team.” – Ben Caruana
The win makes it the third time ever that Bendigo has won at the National Junior Classic.
Mia Cox packed her own basketball, scoring 23pts in the big dance which saw her take the MVP award.
