Newstead teen Caitlin Richardson continues to rake in the award honours having been named the Big V Basketball Victoria Youth Championship Women’s Most Valuable Player for season 2021.
The Bendigo Braves player had a top year on the court in the Big V comp and at the Country Championships.
The latest accolade comes just weeks after the 17-year-old finished runner-up in the Maryborough Castlemaine District Football Netball League’s prestigious Nalder-Tracey Trophy for the league’s Best and Fairest A Grade.
Caitlin also claimed the ‘Rookie of the Year’ and ‘Maryborough Advertiser Netballer of the Year’ honours at the MCDFNL awards night. See the Mail for the full story.
