Basketballers in the spotlight

16 April 2025

By Colin MacGillivray

While homegrown Horsham basketballers Micah Livingstone and Levi Munyard made headlines for their exploits at the Basketball Australia Under-18 National Championships in Queensland, other players from the region shone both closer to home and further afield.

Horsham product Mitch Creek and his Trabzonspor B.K. team-mates are celebrating after winning the Türkiye Basketbol Ligi championship, defeating Fenerbahce 74-62 on Sunday.

Creek, who has played in Australia’s National Basketball League, the National Basketball Association in the United States and several other professional leagues around the world, joined Trabzonspor B.K. in Türkiye last year, averaging 21.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.1 steals per game across 21 appearances.

Creek has committed to returning to the Canadian Elite Basketball League, CEBL, for the 2025 season starting next month.

Creek played for the Vancouver Bandits during the last CEBL season, averaging 26 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists while leading his squad to a grand final appearance.

Meanwhile, Creek’s Australian company Wolf Pack Hoops, co-owned by Horsham's Rebecca McIntyre, has hosted a series of camps for junior girls coached by WNBL champion Abbey Wehrung.

Wehrung visited Horsham last week, taking three groups through their paces while teaching a range of basketball and fitness skills and tips.

Wehrung, who grew up in the regional Victorian town of Korweinguboora and has family connections to Horsham, said she was thrilled to run the camp.

“I’m loving it. They’re good kids and it’s exciting to get back to regional Victoria,” she said.

“Obviously I was a country kid growing up, so it’s really special to be able to give back.”

The Horsham Hornets also announced their men’s and women’s coaches for the upcoming Country Basketball League seasons.

Scott Benbow will continue as the men’s coach, while Jordyn Burke will helm the women’s team after it spent a year in recess due to a lack of playing numbers. The CBL season commences in early October.
