Canberra Force U.S. Tour
A team of Basketball ACT (“BACT”) Juniors have recently wrapped up an independent development tour in the United States, finishing with an impressive 8 wins and 3 losses for the tour.
The team was sourced primarily from girls in the Under 18s age group, and was comprised of Emma Rowcliffe, Rosie Schweizer, Callie Bourne, Isabelle Bourne, Caitlin Rowe, Nadezda Doroski, Alana Dalgleish, Brooke Childs, Hayley Mason and Tarushi Ferando. The squad was led from the sidelines by former AIS Women’s Basketball Head Coach Phil Brown.
Continuing her recent accumulation of accolades, Isabelle Bourne (Norths Basketball Club) was named to the All-Tournament All Star 5 for the Nancy Walling Invitational Tournament. Isabelle adds this trophy to her 2015 BACT Female Player of the Year Award she recently received as a result of her stellar year on the court.
Congratulations to all the players on their performance and efforts on the tour. Results for the team can be found below.
