Eshae Marsters u keen still?
Well done to all our junior basketballers who represented the Whyalla Steelers (Whyalla Steelers Basketball Official) over the weekend! It was great to witness them uphold the steelers values of persistence, resilience, positivity, commitment and discipline. A huge thanks must go to all their coaches, team managers and parents who invest not only their time, but also share their passion and expertise for junior development. And lastly, thank you also to our umpires. Whyalla supplied 10 umpires to assist the Port Augusta Tournament organisers. Some of them, even umpired between playing games!
