A South Craven student is shooting hoops in basketball.

Michael Woodhead, 12, has been selected for the Yorkshire and Humberside under 14s trials.

Michael, who lives in Sutton, plays every week at Keighley Leisure Centre.

His speed and agility in position of point guard set him apart from the rest.

Coach Robert Woodhead - Michael's big brother - selected him and two team mates for the trials.

Michael has not yet decided whether he will make a career in the sport, but his hero is Orlando player Anthony Hardaway.
