In 2016, Derby Trailblazers was invited to the Harris tournament for the first time in club history, due to our accolades in the previous season finishing with a 19 – 1 record. Following this event, still part of the Derby Trailblazers, we were able to reach the final fours in May 2017. After losing the first game, I was able to assist my team in winning the second game of the playoffs with 14,7,7 and 6 steals against the City of London Academy.
Before coming to the University of Worcester I had played one season for the Derby Trailblazers 2, in Division 3. In this season, I must have averaged 16-18 ppg when coming off the bench. I also had multiple games scoring above 20 points.
In 2015, Myles was selected to the East Midlands regional team. Winning two out of the 3 games, Myles performed well in all 3 games. Myles says he averaged 10ppg throughout the tournament, however we dont have access to the stats to support his claim.
