🏀 Week 1 of Finals Did Not Disappoint! 🏀
What a fantastic weekend of finals basketball!
Teams lifted to another level, competing hard, supporting one another, and showing just how much they have developed throughout the season. There were some upsets, some thrilling finishes, and plenty of games that could have gone either way.
Regardless of the final result, we are incredibly proud of every player and team. The effort, sportsmanship, resilience, and growth on display were outstanding.
A huge congratulations to the Stars and Spurs, who have secured their spots in the Grand Final in their respective age divisions.
For those teams still in finals contention, good luck this weekend!
One thing we are proud of in our competition is that everyone continues to play. Development doesn't stop because finals begin. Team chemistry, confidence, and growth continue to build through every game, and every team still has more basketball ahead.
