Following a successful season finishing as the runners-up for the U18 D division, the Melbourne Wolves U18 Aces have undergone some restructure, forming two U18 boys teams.
U18 Aces: Keith Lu as the coach, Helen Lin as the team manager, players include: Jeremy Gu, Joshua Yu, Nathan Yu, Raymond Hu, David Zhang, Sebastian Lu, Pete Hatzis and Anton Ngo.
U18 United: Jose Yanes as the coach, Ty Halse as the team manager, players include: Seb Halse, Alex Barth-Trajkovic, Oliver Bright, Mateo Yanes, Rafik Girgess, Jordan McClellan and Owen Meng.
Both Rafik and Jordan were with U18 Aces last season.
Seb, Alex, Oliver and Mateo are current U16 Melbourne Tigers rep players, all competing in the U18 category at Southern Basketball Association.
The U18 Aces will continue to play in D grade, whereas the U18 United will compete in the B grade.
“We look forward to having multiple Melbourne Tigers rep players joining us competing at a higher age group,” says Tim Lyons, Vice President of Melbourne Wolves.
“We won all the games in the regular season and the semi final, but ended up losing the grand finals last season,” says Jeremy Gu of U18 Aces, “next season we look forward to claiming the title.”
