It was a night to remember for our Traralgon Ford Aussie Hoops participants, who had the incredible opportunity to take the court at the Boomers vs. Thailand Asian Cup qualifier.
The excitement kicked off when the young players lined up to high-five the Boomers as they made their pre-game entrance.
The energy in the arena was electric, and the kids were buzzing with excitement as they prepared for their own big moment at halftime.
Taking center stage, the Traralgon Ford Aussie Hoops players split into a girls vs. boys showdown for a six-minute game.
The teams gave it their all, displaying the skills and teamwork they’ve developed in the program. After a fast-paced and fun-filled match, the game ended in a 2-2 draw, proving that both teams were evenly matched in talent and determination.
The players who took part were:
| Girls | Boys |
| Tabitha | Huxley |
| Harriet | Jack |
| Mya | Asher |
| Olivia | Zack |
| Thea | Harvey |
Officiating the game was Traralgon junior referee Boston Vella, ensuring the match was played fairly and with great sportsmanship.
A huge thank you goes to Ford Aussie Hoops coach Ed Cowlishaw, who helped coordinate the kids and delivered an inspiring pre-game pep talk to get them game-ready.
We also extend our appreciation to the Traralgon Amateur Basketball Association for their fantastic support in making this experience possible.
This event was a fantastic opportunity for our young players to step onto a big stage, build confidence, and create lifelong memories.
We can’t wait to see more Ford Aussie Hoops kids enjoying these amazing experiences in the future!
