Euroa basketball association kicks off representative season

THE Euroa Basketball Association's representative season kicked off over the past weekend travelling to the Echuca Junior Basketball Tournament. With boys' teams entered in the Under 14, Under 16 and Under 18's it was a great start to what looks like being a very positive season for the association. The weekend started well with the U16 boys getting the win over Shepparton, reinforcing the confidence coach's Sam Gebauer and Tom Hill had in the group leading into the weekend. During the remaining games for the U16s, they continued to come together as a team and finished the weekend off with another win over a strong Wangaratta team in their last pool game on Sunday morning. Our U14 Boys were next up on the Friday, playing against Wodonga in what was our U14 Euroa boys' introduction to representative basketball. The boys handled themselves well and took the opportunity to learn from the game and understand where they needed to adapt going forward. Over the tournament the team continued to develop and showed glimpses of what they were capable of, ultimately getting a well–deserved win in their final pool game against Shepparton. Coach Daniel Boote was so proud of his team and is looking forward to seeing the team continue to progress over the coming months. Our U18 boys came into this season looking to build on what they achieved last representative season and took on the challenge of entering division one in Echuca. The team faced Wangaratta in their first game on Friday and fought back from a slow start to level things up early in the second half. Failing to capitalise on some opportunities to take control of the game the Euroa squad allowed Wangaratta to hold on to a one point advantage at the final buzzer. Following another close loss to hosts Echuca, the boys went into their semi–final on Sunday against Wodonga who showed they were the form side early in the season and while playing a great game in what was consistently a high standard of basketball, Wodonga were the better team on the day, ultimately going on the win the grand final against Echuca. Euroa Basketball Association now turns its attention to its Spring Domestic Competition with registrations still open via the Euroa Basketball Facebook page.
