PYTHON BASKETBALL CLUB EXPANDS: INTRODUCING PYTHON SENIORS
Python Basketball Club is proud to announce the formation of Python Seniors, a new Over 35s squad entering the Hanover Basketball League (HBL) this August.
THE ORIGIN STORY
It started with the Generals, a competitive Over 35s squad who came agonisingly close to ending the Wildcats' three year reign in the HBL. They had the talent. They had the chemistry. They just needed the right backing.
Python Basketball Club saw their potential and offered something simple: join us.
The Generals brought their players, their experience, and their unfinished business. Python brought the infrastructure, the culture, and a winning mentality that already delivered an SFBC championship.
The Generals didn't disappear. They evolved. They became Python Seniors.
THE MISSION: DETHRONE THE WILDCATS
The Wildcats have held the HBL trophy for three consecutive seasons. Python Seniors are here to end that streak.
This isn't new territory for Python. When the SFBC Pythons entered their league, nobody gave them a chance. They won the championship in Season 2 and opened Season 3 at 3-0. That same DNA now runs through the Seniors squad.
Different roster. Different league. Same hunger.
TWO TEAMS. TWO LEAGUES. ONE CLUB.
Python Basketball Club now fields two competitive squads:
SFBC Pythons: Defending champions (Season 3: 3-0)
Python Seniors: HBL Over 35s, launching August 2026
