Three talented junior players from Horsham Amateur Basketball Association, HABA, have been named among Victoria’s up-and-coming prospects after being picked for representative squads to compete in January.

Luella Burke and Micah Livingstone were both named to Basketball Victoria’s squad for the Australian Country Junior Basketball Cup, while Chavi Sulic will take part in the Southern Cross Challenge.

The Australian Country Junior Basketball Cup comprises more than 60 teams and 700 players from across Western Australia, South Australia, New South Wales, Tasmania, Victoria and New Zealand each year.

Players in under-14, under-16 and under-18 age groups compete in a round-robin tournament, which will this year be at Lauren Jackson Sports Centre in Albury, New South Wales from January 13 to 19.

Meanwhile, the Southern Cross Challenge serves as an entry point to Basketball Victoria’s high-performance pathway, identifying some of the state’s most talented junior players and coaches and offering them a chance to compete in an elite tournament setting.

The Southern Cross Challenge will be at Melbourne’s State Basketball Centre from January 17 to 20.
