THE Bellarine Storm have revealed United States player Bh’rea Griffin will be the import player in their Division 1 Women’s side ahead of the start of the 2023 Big V basketball season.<\/p>\n

Griffin, a 5’7 guard who hails from Chicago, played for Glenville State College in NCAA 2.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old comes to the Storm after a stint with KBF-Prishtina in the Kosovo Superleague, and has also played in the Croatian WABA, Bosnian Division 1 in the German Bundesliga.<\/p>\n

Storm Division 1 Women coach Tim Sanderson said Griffin “will bring a toughness and aggressive intent to our group” and that she “has the ability to get to the hoop, create for team-mates and make a shot”.<\/p>\n

“Bh’rea is a competitor and her experience playing in Europe post-college will bring great experience to our group.”<\/p>\n

The club says it is excited by what Griffin brings to the team and look forward to welcoming her to the region in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

This year’s Big V season starts next weekend, with Bellarine Division 1 Women playing away against Warrnambool at The Arc Sports Stadium on March 18. Tip-off is at 5.30pm.<\/p>\n

On the same day, the Championship Men’s side hosts Blackburn at Bellarine Secondary College’s Drysdale campus, with tip-off at 7.30pm.<\/p>\n
