Israeli Teen Basketball Ace Has High Hopes
Growing up in Eilat, Ofir Banet didn’t even know Israel had a women’s basketball team. Now, the 19-year-old is in it and could become a giant in the Israeli game.
The opening round of the 2013-14 season of the Israeli Women’s Basketball Super League delivered a surprise, with newly promoted Bnot Herzliya beating second-place Maccabi Ashdod. One of Herzliya’s standouts was Ofir Banet, an unknown teen who scored 10 points, making 5 out of 6 throws.
