Four of Sunbury and the Macedon Ranges young basketball stars will be on show at the under-16 Australian Junior Championships later this year.
Alex Grey, Finn McGinity, Samuel Haslett and Sonny Maxwell have been named in the 10 player under-16 Victoria Country team which will head to Perth in July.
Maxwell was an emergency for the team last year as a bottom age player. Last year’s team finished sixth.
All four started basketball in the Macedon Ranges and represented the Macedon Ranges at the under-16 Country Championships earlier this year.
They also all play representative basketball for the Jets.
The Jets posted on their Facebook page about the achievement.
“To have four SBA athletes from the same team make a state team is very rare and a huge credit to your work and dedication to your craft,” a post said,
“The SBA is incredibly proud of your achievement and we look forward to watching your success at the upcoming AJC.
The boys will be joined at the AJC by coach Simon Nicholson who will be assisting the U16 country women.
Jets women’s coach Simon Nicholson will also head to the championships as assistant coach of the under-16 country women’s team.
