THE OneFortyOne Pioneers have continued their commitment to developing local talent with Poppy Venn returning to the Pioneers roster for the 2026 NBL1 South season.<\/p>\n
Venn, a product of the Millicent Basketball Association, has progressed through the Pioneers pathway as a development player and has gained valuable experience within the Pioneers NBL1 program.<\/p>\n
During her time in the development program, Poppy has continued to build her game through local and regional competitions, playing in the Victorian Country Basketball League in the summer and SECBL competitions.<\/p>\n
Venn\u2019s addition to the Pioneers roster reflects the commitment and hard work that Poppy continues to put into her game.<\/p>\n
OneFortyOne Pioneers Women head coach Matt Sutton said Venn had earned the opportunity after her continued growth within the program.<\/p>\n
\u201cPoppy is a knock down shooter and has a real knack for scoring the ball,\u201d Sutton said. \u201cShe has been working hard on the back of a strong CBL campaign with Millicent.\u201d<\/p>\n
Venn said she was excited for the opportunity to represent the Pioneers and continue developing her game within the NBL1 program.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am super excited to be a part of the Pioneers squad again this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt not only gives me the opportunity to compete and train at a high level but also to grow not only as an individual but also as a teammate.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to successful season with great coaching staff and a talented playing group.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
