COFFS Harbour Suns junior teams have excelled on their home court at the recent Big Banana Coffs Classic.
It was the second annual Coffs Classic hosted by Coffs Harbour Basketball Association, and was held over three big days of hoops at Sportz Central, the Wiigulga Sports Complex, and Bishop Druitt College.
The carnival attracted junior teams from across Northern NSW.
Suns teams won titles in five age divisions; Under 18s Girls Division 1, Under 16s Girls Division 1, Under 14s Boys Division 1, Under 14s Girls Division 1, and Under 12s Girls Division1.
Suns teams also finished runners up in the Under 16s Boys Division 1, Under 16s Girls Division 2, Under 12s Boys Division 1, and Under 12s Girls Division 2 competitions.
A Coffs Harbour Basketball Association spokesperson gave a recap of this year’s Coffs Classic.
“We had 17 Suns teams competing in our second Coffs Classic,” they said.
“It is a wonderful experience to have a home tournament with the amount of travelling our families do, and we loved every minute of it – so many people helping out and coming together as a community in this pre-season hit out.
“Big congratulations to all our Suns teams – some players competing as a Sun for the very first time – we are very proud of you all, the energy and support around the courts for each other was awesome to see.
“Extra congratulations to our five Suns teams who finished as Coffs Classic champions and four teams who took out second place.
“High fives to the MVPs of the grand finals; Ivy Rooney, Millie Cook, Felix Schmidt, Coco Becker, Ethan Heinicke and Maddy Potter.”
