North West, the Under-17 Regional Development Tournament Winners

North West made it back to back to back titles at the Under-17 Regional Development Tournament at Nottingham Wildcats Arena this weekend.

For the second straight year, the North West beat London in the final, this time winning 67-63 to take the title.

“I think we just about did enough over the weekend and I’m obviously proud of the players’ achievements,” said North West coach Neal Hopkins. “The Regional Development programme is a great opportunity for players to gain a fantastic basketball experience and I personally think the hard work by each regional coach and their staff during the course of the summer was reflected in the level of competition – the weekend was a good show piece for U17 men’s basketball with a lot of talent on show.”

Stats aren’t available from the final, but Earl Russell and Lewis Halpin were noted standouts for the North West whilst Ajou Deng was a strong performer for London.

The final standings from the 2012 Under-17 Regional Development Tournament are as follows:

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
