Wil will compete at the Basketball Australia under 16 championships in Perth later this year after being picked to play for Vic Country.

His selection comes days after older brother Jay made his AFL debut for Collingwood on Anzac Day at the MCG.

Vic Country head coach Josh Waight is excited to see Wil and his teammates in action in July.

"It's very exciting to have the Australian junior championships back this year as it is great to get all the best athletes in the country back on the court in one place to showcase their talents of on a national stage," he said.

"The standard of the tryouts was particular strong, which made the selection decisions really tough and meant some really talented players missed out.

"We feel as though we will be able to play at a really high tempo as we have some great athletes."

Wil is the second Warrnambool junior basketballer to represent Vic Country in 2021.

George Stevens was part of the under 18 team which competed in Werribee earlier this month.

He averaged 15 points a game.
