BASKETBALL ACT – 2022 JUNIOR AWARDS NIGHT
By BACT Media Unit – 17 October 2022
After a huge year on-court, the Basketball ACT family came together to celebrate the Junior season on Friday 14 October 2022, at the Junior Awards Night, at Canberra Southern Cross Club.
The Junior Awards Night recognised the Junior Premier League (JPL) season, presented major awards for our junior referee and officiating ranks, and recognised our representative players for 2022.
Guests also heard some insights from two former junior representatives, Jasmyn Boutzos and James Toohey, who are now members of the Canberra Nationals and Canberra Gunners in NBL1 East.
Congratulations to all award recipients.
