Sunday 13 January 2019. Closed 2018 with his first victory in the FIP Championship against Grifo Imola, the Eaglets trained by the instructor Ivan Cicchelli, with Cristiano Tronconi to act as his assistant (for the occasion, in a dressing gown referee albeit away) opened 2019 seizing a great victory against the POL Lojanese coached by Philip Francalancia at the indoor stadium of Loiano, per 14 a 11 looking at the scores attributed to the six Tempini, e (Furthermore) per 30 a 25 in the comparison of points scored. Really exciting, the performance of our children, that they have proven to be a team, just like those of the older boys.
Uphill Start, not only for 51 km journey, starting from Bologna in the early morning. The first two lost Tempini (10-4 the first is 8-6 The second one), ma - as it experienced during practice this week - with young "Oranges" who have shown their ability to follow directions arrived from their instructor, reacting in the third Tempini (0-7, on the board), then winning narrow measure is the fourth (5-6) and fifth (2-3) e, with math in their favor for a draw but with only one point gap (25-26), going to be right also the sixth Tempini (0-4), wiping out any risk. Won and celebrated on the field, After the final greetings, with parents to applaud excited!
Since thank the two children (and their families) that, despite not being well, also they came to play, allowing us to enter 10 Mini-athletes on the scoresheet, minimum number to avoid losing at the table. E, about this, It is right to remind parents and children a rule of the FIP Championship: the six Tempini should be divided in such a way as to make it play two each to each of the 12 players, but in case of reduced number of present, here it is that the third Tempini can only be played by those who did not carry points in the two already played. I our case, it was Antonio, Luca e Federico. Those who had already played and marked, remained to cheer from the bench ...
chronicle, now. Start Quartet Francesco Romano Arbizzani, Antonio Camels, Ettore Pappolla e Francis Balestra for training INVICTUS Academy, but the hosts to surprise us immediately scoring the first basket, and then doubling counterattack. The first two points of "Oranges" come to 3'35" with Francis R., assist by Antonio, but the POL Lojanese marks three more baskets before the siren, against the second only of our, realized by Francis B. assist by Ettore, ends 10-4 (then, 3-1 in the computation of the partial).
I'm Claudio Claroni, Alessandro Forino, Federico Fanti e Luca Biacchessi to take the field in the second quartet, and seek immediately "to wake up" the team. The possessions of the first two minutes are almost all for us, there is more intensity, but just another round of hands the home players to score two baskets in a row, 4-0. We need to react, is Claudio that reaches the bottom and rests on the backboard glass with his left hand the ball of -2, then But He runs in coast to coast and marks the basket of equal, 4-4. But in the last two minutes, Loiano scored twice, us with two free Claudio, and despite two gold balls, the draw escapes, 8-6 (e 6-2).
One might say that sin, ma Ivan It is very good in teaching children how and what to fix, and they follow and perform every word. So, The third quartet - Giacomo Domenichini, Pietro Perovic It is again Antonio ed Ettore - eliminate distractions in defense, We turn on the turbo-attack, and born "magically" three consecutive baskets, with Ettore very good in setting an example learned two nights before playing with 2007, that must be the first examples to imitate. Ne two signing him and it does mark one Pietro counterattack. With Giacomo e Antonio who put a charge and a commitment that in defense, which no longer passes nothing, we win 7 a 0 (recovering, 7-5).
Start shooting, back on the field Claudio, Alessandro, Federico e Luca for the fourth Tempini. The team continues effect, like a mission. Claudio the game feels like her, marks immediately counterattack, and shortly thereafter But which opens the game Luca, which runs in a central position and on the right to download Claudio, It is the basket of +3. It seems like a lot "by large", how to interpret the kids on the floor. Score a baby in a white shirt, New point to point, ma But cotropiede runs in and goes to the basket with a "around and shooting to Fabio Pinto" (vedi Under 15), now serves defend, protect the basket, stay on offense. We win the Tempini 6 a 5 (and is the draw, 8-8).
Last two Tempini, to play all out. Giacomo, Antonio, Francesco R. e Francis B. on court. Assisted Antonio per Francesco R. marking the 2 a 0, Loiano equalized but after three shots in a single action. He defends, not anything spring, There desire to succeed ... A 54" the siren, its failure Francis R., Telescoping of the new lead free throw, 3 a 2. And then Defense, still want to not be filmed, every ball loose all fall down, as the game grew from small. But these children are showing great, win 2-3 (and it has the advantage, 9-11).
We are the last and decisive Tempini. It controls who can return to the field, despite having already played two Tempini a head but without scoring. I'm Antonio, Federico e Luca (while tired, the latter two will take turns), more Giacomo e Pietro. It 'nice to see that they would enter the field all their mates, raising his hand like at school, to volunteer! E' Giacomo break the ice, scoring arrested and shot from underneath, and will Pietro to score the "goal" incoming, will write the 4 a 0 decisive to win the game ... All rise for our Eaglets!
