The Junior Beez took a swarm to Coffs Harbour to compete in the Annual Bellinger Braves Pacific Challenge where the U/13 boys’ team brought home a trophy for the Bay.
A big congratulations to all the players, coach Alvin Caoyonan and support crew for thier effort last weekend.
U/13 boys and girls, and U/15 boys and girls teams battled it out throughout the very heated weekend, playing a total of 22 games between them.
They played against Bellinger Valley, Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour, Ipswich, Taree, Brisbane Spartans and Gloucester.
The Junior Committee and coaches, Nash Campbell, Matt Ogle and Alvin, are very proud of these teams and their efforts.
The players showed their passion, skills and commitment for the game of basketball and the Beez during this weekend.
This level of competition is a step leading up to the 2017 Northern Junior League Competition in which Byron Beez will be competing.
The 2017 Representative Squad Trials for U/12s through to U/18s will be held this week.
The Girls will be held this Friday December 9, 4.30–6pm at the Cavanbah Centre, and the Boys this Saturday December 10, 1.30–3.30pm.
