Stevens said he was excited to be a part of the team and wants to help out his teammates
“I feel this year will be different as I am one of the more experienced players,” he said. “I just want to help out my other teammates and show them my experience.
“It will be a little bit nerve racking for them against the stronger sides. I hope we can give them a good fight.”
Jay Rantall, Liam Herbert, Hayden Rhook, Dom Occapinti, Riley Nicholson (Under 18’s) and Oliver Smith (Under 14) are also currently representing Vic country at Australian Country Junior Basketball Cup in Albury.
