The Logan Thunder is excited to announce the return of Lisa and Mary Barnett- Keresoma who have re-signed for the 2021 NBL1 North Season.

Lisa and Mary are both Logan Thunder juniors who have progressed through the Thunder program since U12s and are now representing the Thunder in their Senior Women’s program.

Lisa and Mary were recently selected in the New Zealand Tall Ferns Squad for the FIBA Women’s Asia Cup.

Both Lisa and Mary are stars on the rise with their best basketball ahead of them.

They are set take on a bigger role and continue to develop this season.‍

Logan head coach Brayden Heslehurst said he was pleased to re-sign the talented duo for the upcoming season.

“Mary and Lisa are two more of our juniors who have now had a few years in the senior program under their belt and we will be looking for them to take a major step forward this NBL1 season," he said.

"Both of them obviously have great size but also mobility at that position and have even more higher-level experience after being part of the NZ Tall Ferns camp this year.

"We are really looking for them, as our locals and junior products, to form a good frontcourt combination with the likes of Mikaela Ruef and Chevannah Paalvast.

"We think they are on track to play a bigger role for us this year and we really are excited about seeing their hard work over the past two years pay off.”
