On Friday night in a close count, Dallas Jeffree capped off his huge season being awarded the Allan Scott Medal as the Pioneers most valuable player for the 2007 SEABL season. The Dinner was held at the Quality Inn International with around 60 people involved with the club in attendance.

As expected the other man in contention and for many the favourite, Ryan Blankson polled second, leading with 4 games remaining in the season 117-116. Dallas Jeffree however received 10 of the final 12 first preference votes taking the award with 150 votes, Ryan Blankson secured 134. Patron of the Pioneers Basketball Club, Mr Allan Scott was in attendance to present Dallas with the award.

Jeffree averaged 22.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3 assists per game in 2007 and tallied a career high in a loss to NW Tasmania of 40 points. All season long, no matter what the score or how he was performing you could expect the same gritty and passionate performance. With these characteristics, Dallas provides the perfect building block for a bright future and success for the club.

Guard Chris Mason was awarded with the Pioneers "Golden Hands" award for his season. The award is calculated as Assists plus Steals minus turnovers. Like Jeffree, Mason all season was prepared to put in 110% and provide whatever the team required on game night. This was the first time Mason has received the award since his arrival in Mount Gambier for the 2005 season.

Coach of the Pioneers Basketball Club, Jason Sedlock  awarded his trophy to Daniel Peacock, one of the Club's development players. Although Peacock never suited for the Pioneers his ability and efforts at practice were clearly seen by the Head Coach. Although Peacock is still ssessing his movements within his basketball career, he is sure to make some noise within the Pioneers program in the upcoming seasons.

Sheree Hammond was awarded the Jason Joynes perpetual trophy for her efforts as the Secretary of the Pioneers Basketball Club board. The award is presented to a member of the club who has been nominated for their outstanding contributions in assisting in the club for the season. Sheree's husband and former Pioneers Assistant Coach, Kym Hammond was there to receive the award following the birth of their first child! Congratulations Flash and Sheree!

In another special presentation, Dave and Maxine Bowden's involvement with the club since exception was recognised with the presentation  of a signed and framed 20th season jersey. Dave is a current board member of the club and Maxine heads the Limestone Coast Pioneers Supporters Club in their fundraising efforts which have again well exceeded the Club's expectations. The presentation was made by Ray De Wit, a former player and current board member.

The Pioneers Basketball Club would like to thank everyone involved in the club for their efforts in 2007 and congratulate all award recipients for their success!
