12.1 Girls

Most Determined Player – Elise Garner
"Elise's determination shines through every time she steps on the court. Her high basketball IQ,
excellent decision-making, and ability to read the game consistently puts her in the right position. She is always hustling for loose balls, the first to sprint back on defence and never overlooks the little one-percenters that make a big difference. Combined with her strong communication and relentless effort, Elise sets a fantastic example for her teammates. Congratulations, Elise."

Best Team Player – Mila Tankovic
"Mila is the definition of a team player. She always gives 110 per cent, puts in the extra work to improve her game and consistently challenges herself and her teammates to be better. She is incredibly supportive and encouraging, communicates strongly on the court and demonstrates natural leadership by keeping the team connected and working together. Her positive attitude and commitment make her an invaluable teammate. Congratulations, Mila!"

12.2 Girls

Most Determined Player – Harper King
"Harper has had an amazing season. From the very first game, she gave her all every time she stepped onto the court, consistently leaving everything out there until the final whistle. Her drive, resilience and determination to improve have been evident throughout the season, as she embraces every piece of feedback and works hard to put it into her game. Not only does she make a strong impact offensively, but her defensive effort and relentless hustle bring an energy to the game that lifts her teammates and changes the momentum of matches. Harper's commitment, passion, and willingness to never give up make her an exceptional role model and truly worthy of this award."

Most Improved Player – Poppy Tinker
"This season, Poppy has shown incredible growth and development. Through her commitment and determination to improve and willingness to learn, she has taken her game to another level. Her confidence with the ball, decision making and overall understanding of the game have grown significantly throughout the season. She has embraced every challenge with a positive attitude, consistently applying feedback and putting in the effort to become a stronger player. We have seen her determination grow on the court as she works harder to get stops on defence, boxing out and jumping higher each time to get rebounds. Her hard work, persistence and dedication have been inspiring to watch, and her progress this season has truly earned her this award."
