U18 Wildcats Wrap Up Successful 24/25 Rep Season

The Burdekin Basketball U18 Boys team recently concluded their 2024/2025 representative season with an impressive performance at the State Championships on the Gold Coast. The team gave the southern clubs a tough challenge, showcasing exceptional skills and determination against bigger, more experienced opponents.

As the season wraps up, the team bids farewell to six top-age players who are ending their representative careers. These athletes have been vital members of the team, with some having been part of the program from the start and others joining this year. The club congratulates Jack Power, Nathanael Minuzzo, Charlie Shears, Perry Horan, Blaize Palmer, and Blake Gerrard for their dedication and hard work throughout their basketball journey.

A special thank you was expressed to the team’s coaches, Leigh Dunn and Belinda Tinus, for their guidance and support, as well as to team manager Sherrie Power for her organisational efforts. The club also extended its gratitude to the parents, families, and local sponsors - Oar and Horan Dental, Rinella Plan Management, and Tinus Engineering - for their continued support.
