John Spooner Award
The John Spooner Trophy is awarded each year to the Association with the most minor round wins in division 1 competition in the SA Country Junior Championships. The award is named to recognise the significant contribution over many years of John Spooner to SA Country Basketball. John was the organiser and manager of the first representative SA Country State team to attend the Australian Championships and was a member of the Country Council in its early years. To this day, John continues to assist SA Country with the annual game between his SA Defence basketball team and SA Country U18 Men’s Nationals team as part of their lead up to the National Championships. As well, John has assisted in the organisation of special events such as our 30th and 40th Anniversary celebrations.
Great Southern has won the prestigious John Spooner Award three times, 2013,2014 & 2022.
