400th Game For Lady Hawks Captain
Lady Hawks Captain Tanya Kelly will celebrate her 400th game this Saturday night, in the second game of the SBL quarter final round against Cockburn.-
Tanya, who started her basketball career at the age of 10, joined the club’s WSBL team in 1999 and has enjoyed great success since. Tanya contributed to five of the Lady Hawks’ premierships, including 2002-04 and 2007-08 and was named MVP of the WSBL in 2006, which she includes as one of her career highlights.
“In 1998 I made my first all-star team. We travelled to Thailand and China and played a couple of tournaments. It was the only year an all-star team has travelled to play. 2006 was also very memorable as we didn't make the grand final, but I won MVP of the league," Tanya said of her most memorable moments.
Tanya has been the Captain of the Lady Hawks since 2007, leading the team in their last two premierships. Tanya makes sure she provides positive encouragement and helps to keep the team focused.
Perry Lakes Hawks congratulate Tanya for achieving this outstanding milestone and encourage supporters to come down and watch her lead her team in this Saturday’s quarter final, to be held at 6.00pm at the WA Basketball Centre.
