THE Victorian Junior Basketball League (VJBL) began on Friday, with Surf Coast Secondary College hosting two games.<\/p>\n

\n

The first of these games was made particularly special by it being the first time the Surfcoast Basketball Association has had a female basketball side in the VJBL.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

They got off to a perfect start too, as Surfcoast Chargers Under 14 Girls defeated Werribee (3) 50 to 8.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Chargers coach Brendan McKeegan said he was very pleased to begin with such a strong performance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“For the girls to play at home and to win their first game and to win their first game in a Victorian comp is great.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

McKeegan said the growth of basketball in the area would help the development of his players.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Once you provide them with a pathway, it gives them the incentive to go out there and practice and gives them a view as to what they can achieve.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Surfcoast Chargers’ other team in the VJBL is their Under 16 Boys.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

They also played Werribee (3), and despite a decent performance lost 71 to 44.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Tomorrow both sides play away, with the Under 14 Girls facing Kilsyth (3) while the Under 16 Boys play Melbourne (5).<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
