Three of Kilsyth’s brightest young SEABL stars have headed to the United States to embark on the first of a four-year collegiate basketball journey.

Jamie Ahale, Genna Ogier and Gabe Hadley have each secured athletic scholarships to take on some of the worlds best young talent, joining a long list of past and present Cobras who have represented Kilsyth at the collegiate level.

After helping the VYC Men clinch the 2017 league title, SEBC Saints junior Jamie Ahale is headed to Mineral Area College in Missouri, where he’ll follow in the footsteps of fellow Cobra Hannah Taulien (Taulien was a member of the Cardinals from 2015-2016). Mineral Area is one of the nation’s top Junior Colleges, with many of it’s players moving on to strong NCAA D1 programs.

Genna Ogier is headed to the West Coast, where she’ll join the Fresno State Bulldogs in the Mountain West Conference. Ogier joins Rosie Moult and Chantella Perera as the newest Cobra-turned Bulldog, with both Moult and Perera enjoying standout collegiate careers at Fresno State.

Gabe Hadley has made the move to New Mexico State where he joins the Aggies for his freshmen season. The Aggies enter the new season as the reigning Sun Belt Conference champions, and secured an NCAA tournament bid in 2016.
