The good news keeps coming for the OneFortyOne Pioneers with experienced WNBL player, 28-year-old Hannah Young re-signing for the 2022 NBL1 South Season.
After a solid 2021 season the OneFortyOne Pioneers are excited about what Young can achieve in 2022.
Young completed her university education at Virginia Tech in the USA while on a basketball scholarship and has gone on to play professionally in Romania and in the WNBL for Newcastle Hunters, Canberra Capital, and Townsville Fire before linking with the Pioneers in 2021.
Young was a solid performer during the COVID-19 shortened NBL1 South 2021 season with an average 34 minutes 47 seconds court time each game, and averaged a 37% field goal percentage.
Young also achieved a very credible 11.3 points per game with an impressive 8.92 rebounds per game.
OneFortyOne Mount Gambier Pioneers head coach, Matt Sutton said he was pleased that Hannah was returning to the group for the 2022 season.
“In an interrupted 2021 season I feel like her best was yet to come before the season got shut down,” he said.
“Her ability to shoot the ball will be an important part of our structure as well as her ability to rebound and defend against bigger opponents.”
The OneFortyOne Pioneers and the Castec Rural Pioneers will commence their 2022 NBL1 South campaigns home at the Ice House on April 23, 2022 with first round opponents Diamond Valley Eagles.
