🏀 FROM JUNIOR SEAHAWK TO THE USA 🇺🇸

We’re incredibly proud to see former Junior Seahawk Lewis Gommers taking the next exciting step in his basketball journey, heading to the USA to join the Southeastern Prep Falcons.

It’s an amazing achievement and an exciting opportunity for Lewis to continue developing his game, challenge himself in a new environment and experience basketball in the USA.

Lewis was part of our Junior Seahawks program from U12 through to U16 before relocating to Albury, and it has been fantastic to watch his basketball journey continue to unfold.

Southeastern Preparatory Academy offers a high-performance basketball environment focused on preparing student-athletes for opportunities at the college level and beyond, competing against some of the top prep programs across the United States.

We are always incredibly proud to see players who have come through our junior program continuing to pursue their basketball goals, and we know there will be plenty of people across the Warrnambool basketball community cheering Lewis on from home.

Congratulations Lewis! We wish you all the very best for this exciting next chapter. 💚🏀

Congratulations to our Victorian athletes selected in the Australian Rollers team for the 2026 IWBF World Championships, held in Ottawa, Canada from 9 to 19 September.
