Daniel Carlin and Jordan Centenera, who both came through the Lions Junior program, both currently playing ABL with the Lions are currently playing over the USA. Their tour lasts for about 3 weeks and they’re competing in a number of tournaments against AAU club teams.

Their touring team consists of players from across Australia at around SEABL and/or ABL level and aged 18-21. Since arriving in the States last week they’ve played in the Hoosiers Shootout and just today they were about to play their 2^nd game in the Kentucky Hoop Fest. According to Daniel Carlin both the boys have been playing well with Carlin being the team’s leading scorer and Centenera being up there in the scoring including a 28 pt haul in one of their games in Indiana.

Included on the tour the boys will be checking out some sites across the States and today they will tour Butler University. Bulter is a large Div 1 NCAA school and fellow Aussie Jackson Aldridge will be starting there next season.

Carlin believes “it’s been great to compete with and see levels of players that we just don’t get in Australia and i think the Central’s boys are doing a good job of rising to that challenge”, apparently there have been lots of scouts from Colleges at their game and Carlin is already on many of their radars and no doubt Centenera will be now too.

As with all Lions venturing overseas or to the next level we love keeping in touch with them back home, the Lions will always give them a support network when they need it and they represent the club with pride.

All the best Daniel and Jordan!!!
