E.Bees represented: 3x3 comp!                             July 2023

At the recent Bulleen 3x3 competition, E.Bees representatives Jesse, Zac, Liam and Baiden kept their skills sharp during the holidays.

Playing 5 games in 4 hours was challenging however with some set plays and plenty of outside shooting they performed well, with the E.Bees team narrowly missing the grand final.

Well done, boys! Check out the videos to see their great moves.

E.Bees Champions in prestigious Hustle 3 x 3  Tournament!      April 2023

3x3team front.png
3x3team back.png

A select group of E.Bees players recently entered into the prestigious Hustle 3x3 Tournaments in both Sydney and Canberra. 
 
The girls, Maddy Walec, Lavinia Stow, Bailey Evans and Nikita Antol (along with their dads Andrew & Paul) commenced their long drive along the highway into the highly competitive Sydney tournament where they played 4 games. 
 
The girls lost their 1st game, however dug deep and built momentum to enter into the semi final to play their nemesis. This was the grudge match however the girls ha
d a plan and executed it with a smile on their faces. Upon securing the semi final victory they moved into the grand final against a talented highly regarded representative team – and played with fierce determination, balanced skill and rigour. 
 
In the Grand Final, the Ebees girls dominated, utilising pick and rolls, backdoor cuts and strong rebounding to win by 6 points.
They were the Sydney 3x3 Champions!
 
The touring group then moved to the Canberra tournament, where upon hearing of the girls Sydney victory, the Canberra organisers offered the girls to enter into the Open Men’s competition – and the girls bravely accepted (with the dads being allowed to contribute).
 
The girls fought hard against the older boys and came up short (2 games of less than 1 point) but received much praise for their efforts from opposing teams' parents. 
 
The tour ended with another campsite open fire, delicious meals and foot messages. 
 
The Girls have a World Ranking and will continue to build upon this in future tournaments.
 
What an experience for the girls and we encourage others to join us next time as we plan another round of travelling tournaments.
 

Go E.Bees!

Excellent Summer season for E.Bees Basketball Club          March 2023

Round 17 of the 2022/23 Summer Season marked the end of the junior basketball journey for two of our E.Bees U18 boys.

Matt and Jarrod have been regular players across our Friday Night and Saturday competitions and have both played in excess of 300 basketball games.

Representing the U18-1 team for the final time, their on court leadership helped get the team across the line for a season best win.  Some clutch 3 point shooting by Jarrod and Matt icing the game with a series of free throws to secure a narrow win!

Congratulations Matt and Jarrod and good luck with your basketball future.

Go E Bees!
