BVC U12 Country Championships – 2018 results

It was a gruelling weekend as the best and brightest from across regional Victoria made the most of their tournament triumphs in Bendigo.

In our five boys divisions, Warrnambool, Shepparton, Leongatha, Moe and Terang emerged triumphant while our four girls divisions championships were claimed by Traralgon, Wodonga, Korumburra and Colac.

For Warrnambool (Boys Division 1 Champions) and Traralgon (Girls Division 1 Champions) the reward for their triumph is only just beginning. They’re now eligible to nominate for the Medibank National Junior Classic, held across the Queen’s Birthday long weekend in Melbourne. If successful, these sides will be in the running to claim the national title alongside 16 of Australia’s best junior under-12 teams.

Basketball Victoria Country manager David Huxtable wanted to thank and congratulate all the teams that participated in the Under 12 Country Championships and made special mention of the coaches, parents, volunteers, staff and referees who make this event flourish every year.

“The BVC Under-12 Country Championships are an important event on the BVC calendar and are always one of our most popular events of the year,” Huxtable said. “It’s great to see many Country Championships journeys started at this event – with our youngest country players getting a chance to compete against the state’s best regional teams.

“I want to congratulate all our winning associations, as well as every team that competed in the championships.

“We are fortunate to have a multitude of country volunteers around the state doing some extraordinary work within country Victorian basketball and we’re appreciative of their continued support.

“We couldn’t run the under-12 championships, or any other event, without their diligent commitment to country basketball.”

The event brought approximately 850 players, 200 team staff members, 60-80 referees and educators as well as the estimated 5000 supporters who came through the turnstiles for the three-day tournament extravaganza.
