The 2017/18 Basketball season has come to an end, but not without a celebration and acknowledgement of our players throughout all age groups and grades, at the Presentation Night on Saturday, 10 March.
Over 75 awards were presented to the 38 teams that competed this season and all recipients were applauded for their efforts. The Graham Kelly Memorial Award for his contribution to Basketball at King’s was presented to Will Johnston and Jared Hart was the recipient of the Players’ Player Award.
The large audience was enthralled by Malakai and Dallin Watene-Zelezniak who shared their personal journeys towards their professional careers in the NRL. They also shared valuable advice on developing a positive work ethic and overcoming adversity in sport.
Many thanks to the Committee of the Basketball Club for their unwavering support of the Basketball program throughout the year and for transforming the area around the Trophy Room into a magnificent celebration venue on the evening.
