Sony Centre Fury Basketball Club were chosen as one of six Scottish clubs to host a Division of the JrNBA and the first round of matches got underway last week at Grangemouth Sports Complex.

There are 30 schools involved in the country wide competition with St.Margarets Mavericks, Maddiston Rockets, Kinnaird Spurs and Comely Park Pelicans playing out the South West Division.

All schools were given NBA uniforms and basketballs and are all named with an NBA team name.
