Aotearoa- New Zealand Secondary School Nationals start in Palmerston North today for the week and our baby giraffe a.k.a. no. #1 flyer delivery girl is playing!
Expect to see updates throughout the week as we follow Tauranga Girls' College (and Mt Maunganui College because Shamar and Charis Broughton are 🔥). Here are the Central Zones Qualifiers for the girls... Mt Maunganui hold the 3x3 titles for 2026 for both boys and girls, with the girls stacked with NZ players in Riley McClenaghan, Charis and Shamar Broughton. But Westlake have been reigning Champs for the last 4 years for the girls ... either way there's tough competition for TGC even with NZ rep Areta Kahura in our line up. Some strong juniors without a "stop" button means they'll be giving the Champs a run for their money ...
