16.01.2022 Hey Gators Family! Please join us in wishing former Altona junior Claudia Bomber Armato good luck for her first game of the season for Division I University of Alabama-Birmingham! Claudia joined Altona in 2016 and was a major part of a very successful piece of Altona Gators history. In the 2016 season Bomber helped guide our U18 girls to the VC Championship Grand Final finishing runners up in a nail-biter to favourites Bulleen. In that same season she was the starting p...oint guard for our Youth League One Women who had a dominant season that finished with overcoming a 17-point deficit to the Werribee Devils to win the YL1W Grand Final. Bomber was named Grand Final MVP. She was also one of three Altona Gators selected for the NBA Basketball Without Borders initiative that ended with a select group traveling to America for competition. In Claudia’s final season, she helped the Altona Youth League Championship women make Big V history by becoming the first team to reach the finals after being promoted to the top youth division. Thank you for your contributions to our success Claudia! Good luck this season! #altonagators #gatorsabroad

01.01.2022 Welcome back Gators family! Today we are excited to announce that Kobe King-Hawea has signed her National Letter of Intent to play at the University of Texas! The Gator junior has gone from strength to strength by representing Victoria, then Australia before heading to the USA college system. Kobe is currently the number 1 junior college player in the country after a stellar season at Gillette College (Gillette, Wyoming) where she averaged 20.5 points, 7.3 rebounds and 5.4 ...assists in just 29.5 minutes per game setting 5 school records. That effort made her the only freshman in the country to be named to NJCAA Division I first team All-America. Kobe will play at Casper College (Casper, Wyoming) the 2020-21 season before heading off to Austin, Texas to join the same Longhorns program that produced NBA Superstar Kevin Durant. Good luck from your Altona Gators family Kobe! We are very proud of you #altonagators #gatorpride #gatorsabroad
