After featuring in the first Australian country boys team to win the Mel Young Classic in New Zealand last Easter, Paul and his offsiders have been invited to participate in the annual world youth basketball tournament in Kailua Kona, Hawaii, from August 1-5.
The side will play against teams from Canada, USA and Hawaii, as well as experiencing all the culture the island has to offer.
Meanwhile, Albury’s Haiden Ings has been selected to trial for the NSW Country under 16s for the upcoming Australian under 16 junior championships.
What makes the achievement even more impressive is the fact Ings has reached the squad as a bottom age player.
The championships will be held from July 6-13 on the Sunshine Coast.
