Two students from Napier Boys' High School have been selected to represent the country in basketball.
Tommy Fergusson and Clifton Bush III have been named by Basketball New Zealand as part of the 2020 Junior Tall Blacks.
The boys, both in Year 13, attended the National Junior Team Selection Camp in Rotorua in February.
Bush III said it was an honour to be selected, following a video announcement by head coach Aaron Fearne, and hopes to follow in the footsteps of his father – a former Tall Black and Hawks captain – and Hawke's Bay-born Paora Winitana and Paul Henare.
"From the beginning, I never thought I would play for my country, but to play for my country now is amazing," he said.
