The Footlocker Under 18 National Championships were held in Queensland from the 9th – 16th of April.
We had 4 Willetton players participating in the tournament, with Roman Lutton (team captain) and Aaron Gashaw in the WA Metro Men’s team, and Jasmin Clark and Remy Hearn in the WA Metro Women’s team.
We would like to congratulate these players for not only being selected, but for contributing to their team’s success throughout the tournament!
The men’s team finished 5th in their pool, with 2 wins and 4 losses for the tournament.
Roman Lutton was a tournament standout, finished 3rd overall in average points per game, 2nd overall in average steals per game, and 4th overall for total points scored (with a total of 169 points for the tournament).
Roman’s game averages were 21.12 points, 5.25 reb, 3.75 stl, and 2.38 ass. He finished with an impressive shooting clip of 50% from the field, and 35% from the 3pt line.
