The Sock Awards followed a hit out on Saturday Feb 26 against neighboring associations in preparation for the Echuca tournament to be held on the March long weekend and state championships during March and April.
The Sock Awards were to acknowledge three players in each team that have shown; 1. A great commitment to training; 2. A great attitude and leadership and; 3. Someone who has performed well at our tournaments thus far.
Yarrawonga Mulwala Representative Basketball Association President Seona Wheeler said it was wonderful to see so many of our coaches, players and parents come together to celebrate these wonderful achievements of our players and to give back to our sponsors such as the Mulwala Water Ski Club.
“As our season is drawing to an end I thank the committee for all their hard work this season so far and the coaches for the commitment and dedication that they have given at training and tournaments.”
