Finishing 4th overall, these two boys Maraki Aumua and Kalem Billy Tanoa were selected into the tournament team No rest, straight on a plane that evening to join their NZBA team in Las Vegas where they took 3rd place and a bronze medal in the Bigfoot Tournament after only a few hours sleep. Just yesterday, they took out the gold medal match in the FAB48 Tournament in Las Vegas. Kalem (Captain) and Maraki led their team to 8 convincing victories to claim the title.
