Junior Sharks England Reports

Several Junior Sharks had an interrupted festive season as they were on duty for the England National teams. U18s Will Hall played in Manchester at the Harris Memorial Tournament Dec 27-29, and John Stewart and Devon van Oostrum played in the Power Wevelgem tournament in Belgium Dec 27-28.

In Manchester, Will’s England team comfortably made it through the group stages and defeated Manchester U18s in the semi to set up a rematch with the only team that had defeated them, the Gran Canaria Basketball Academy. After a blistering start by the islanders (23-5!), Will was instrumental in slowly pulling England back. He delivered the assist of the day with a beautiful tap to star Ryan Richards who delivered the highlight monster jam. In the narrow loss, Will finished with a double-double and plenty of other good stats (10 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists).
