Pacific Rim Tournament report - Lachlan Mihai

Lachlan Mihai from the Coffs Harbour Under 14 Boys team went on the experience of a lifetime 2 weeks ago, venturing to New Zealand to represent Australia in an annual easter basketball tournament.

Mihai represented NSW in January at the AJCBC scoring 42 points in one game helping his case to eventually be selected to represent his country. The Aussies began the tournament on the tear winning all their round games comfortably and looking to be unstoppable. However, a big and strong New Zealand side were waiting in the semi finals knocking them out of contention by 12 points. In the Bronze medal game Mihai would rise to the occasion scoring 7 quick points in the final 2 minutes to pull his team over the line by 6.

When asked about the trip Lachlan said "It was a great learning experience that will help me to improve my game and I had a great time with my team mates." Coffs Basketball would like to congratulate Lachie and look forward to seeing him represent us for years to come.
