4. A young basketballer is dribbling her way to success only a year after getting into the sport.  D'Jonaye Nui-Hinga, 14, also known as 'Smiley', has made her family and region proud after working her way up to playing at an international level. Hawera-based Nui-Hinga has an all-round 'sporty' background but said she had only just found her love for basketball. "They call me Smiley because even when I'm dribbling or shooting, anything, I'm just always smiling," Nui-hinga laughed. The 14-year-old has just got back from the New Zealand Maori Basketball Tournament in Rotorua where her under-15 girls' team received the bronze medal. Photo credit and read more here:  http://www.stuff.co.nz/taranaki-daily-news/news/south-taranaki-star/89035479/hawera-basketball-teen-shoots-high
