Northland's young basketballers were put to the test on Saturday as a number of out-of-town teams travelled north to play some of the region's school and representative sides.
This included the Whangārei Boys' High School's (WBHS) premier and junior teams playing Auckland's Westlake Boys' High School, the Cameron Basketball Academyunder-14 team playing Taranaki's Elite Pathways under-14 team and Northland's under-15 girls playing Auckland's under-15 girls team.
Other fixtures in the day included some local derbies between WBHS, Tikipunga High School, Pompallier College and Huanui College. Northern Advocate photographer Michael Cunningham caught all the action from the competitive WBHS-Tikipunga High School fixture.
