THE Tamborine Mountain Basketball Association has capped off another strong summer, celebrating the individual success of several Wolves players selected to represent at a higher level.
The Wolves are proud to have five players chosen to play representative basketball with the North Gold Coast Seahawks and have congratulated those athletes on their selections and recent achievements.
Myles Brown, from the Wolves Under 18 Boys 1 team, represented the Seahawks Under 18 Boys 3 side this season and competed at the state championships held at Carrara in early January 2026.
Poppy Jones, from the Wolves Super League Girls 1 team, was selected for the Seahawks Under 16 Girls 2 squad.
The team has recently completed grading and will begin its regular representative season in Term 1, with state championships scheduled to be held in Brisbane over the Easter holidays.
Toby Lory, from the Wolves Under 14 Boys 1 team, was selected for the Seahawks Under 14 Boys 3 team, which will commence grading at the end of February ahead of a Term 2 season, culminating in the state championships in Cairns in July 2026.
Talia Biskaps, also from the Wolves Super League Girls 1 team, was selected for the Seahawks Under 14 Girls 1 team, which will likewise begin its season in Term 2, with state championships to be held on the Sunshine Coast in July 2026.
The club also acknowledged Alek Cuso, who represented the Wolves with the Seahawks Under 14 Boys 4 team last year.
Alek was unable to compete at the 2025 state championships due to a broken foot and has elected to take a break from representative basketball this year.
In addition to representative selections, several Wolves players will compete at the AAU Brisbane Classic, to be hosted at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Boondall in late January 2026.
Miller Lory and Massimo Panepinto were selected for the Hoops Gold Coast Under 14 Boys team, while Alek Cuso was chosen for the Gold Coast Under 12 Boys.
Talia Biskaps continues an impressive run, earning selection in the Soul Sisters Under 12 team.
Wolves President Ben Norling said the achievements highlighted the strength of the mountain-based club, despite its small size within the North Gold Coast Basketball Association.
“As one of the smallest clubs in the association, we continue to punch above our weight,” Norling said.
“Our committed volunteers work hard to create a fun environment on the mountain that attracts kids to the sport to play with their mates, while also providing pathways for high-performing individuals to pursue competitive basketball at higher levels.
“We’re proud of these players and look forward to the skills and experience they can bring back to club basketball. We wish them all the best as they head towards state championships in 2026.”
