The best result came from the under-18 boys, who went through the tournament undefeated to win the title at the Junior Basketball Classic.
The under-14 boys in division one and the under-18 girls also had two superb results, both finishing second.
Under-14 boys coach Owen Hughan said his side had continued to grow.
"Since the Warrnambool tournament, they have made excellent improvements," Mr Hughan said.
"It's good to do that and make a final, and to see the progress that they've made."
The under-18 girls won their way through to the final with an excellent three-point victory in the semi-final against Warrnambool. The side then only narrowly went down by eight points to a team from Mildura in the tournament final.
Lavinia Fox and Molly Stewart were the side's two top scorers across the weekend, averaging 10.4 and 9.8 points respectively.
The under-14 boys in division two also came close to a podium finish, losing their third-place playoff by just three points.
Mr Hughan, who is also president of the basketball association, said the tournament was a major success.
He credited the hard work of volunteers, including tournament director Amanda Munyard.
"It was an outstanding tournament and it ran like clockwork," Mr Hughan said.
"There were a lot of people and a lot of spectators - the stands were full most of the time.
"We never had any complaints, which is a credit to the tournament organisers. It takes a fair bit organising 80 teams."
