KEILOR Village under-14D basketball team is still on a high after winning the premiership last season.
The team defeated Aberfeldie Jets 19-12 in the grand final.
Sam Cimino, who has been coaching the girls since last year, says his team is fast and tough - all to their advantage as they chase another flag.
Team members Lisa Cimino, Ruby Vanstone, Alex Norris, Alexis Martinez, Kiara Martinez, Amy Vandenberg, Chloe Doric and Miriam Tawdros have won four out of five games so far this season.
The side is positioned third on the ladder.
A confident Cimino says his side "can make the season's final, but it's a bit too early to tell yet".
Only time will tell if Keilor Village can keep their good form in the games to come. They play Taylors Lakes at the Keilor Basketball Stadium on Saturday.
