Under 14 Miners Lead Successful Night for Ballarat

Seven of Ballarat’s 10 Thrifty Junior Miners and Rush teams claimed victories last night in the Victorian Junior Basketball League. The Under 14 Miners led the way, claiming a 59-37 victory  over Broadmeadows in the VJL2 competition at the Mars Minerdome.

Keenan Chapman set the standard for Ballarat, lodging eight of his 16 points in the final quarter. Josh Sparkman was also excellent with 11 points.
