We all heard about the Boomers besting the USA in a basketball exhibition match in Melbourne recently.
On 21 August, there was another set of international friendlies hosted in Dandenong.
The locally-based Red Roo Sports mens and womens teams took on the best players from Hawaii at Hoops 24/7 courts in fast, entertaining games.
It comes on the back of several on-court and off-court achievements by this club led and bankrolled by businessman James Kerr since 2015.
The club has snared a host of local and international trophies. The most recent being Red Roo’s Under 16 boys who won the South Sudanese Australian National Basketball Association championships in Sydney in July.
The Star Journal also recently featured some of the Red Roo players, Oyiti Amum and Daniel Akuei, that have been awarded US college scholarships.
