Australian League!!!

by

australia lightningFor some reason covering the Australian Women’s Basketball League slipped my mind! Not sure how that is possible when I spent the entire summer playing with two Australians who are both playing over there right now! Leilani Mitchell for the Adelaide Lightning and Cayla Francis-George for SEQ Basketball. There are a few other WNBA players playing in Australia too! Check the list here. So all the Australian basketball fans don’t worry yourself! We will be covering the WNBL which I must say is a very competitive league with some great players! Australia has produced some of the best basketball players in the world! Lauren Jackson, Penny Taylor, and Liz Cambage to name a few. Already four games into the season we will pick up from there.  The next round of games will be played this weekend on the 30th and 31st. Stay tuned!
