Sunday 8 January 2023. La prima partita dell'Anno Nuovo vede gli Under 14 of INVICTUS Academy engage fifth gear! The victory won at the PalaSport Cavina against Francesco Francia Zola Predosa is in fact the fifth out of seven matches played, but above all a new surprise.
We know it from the start, we pay from a registry point of view (5 of the 2009 e 7 of the 2010 we, all 2009 the opponents) and consequently also physical, but "Oranges" are able to put into practice the teachings of Ivan Cicchelli e Luca Branchini and this allows them to go beyond expectations.
Difficile, win today's match against Francesco Francia, because the group coached by Alessandro Gatti is tough and plays well, confirming the solidity that distinguishes the Zola Predosa Company. And indeed it starts strong, winning the first two quarters and remaining in front practically until the last seconds.
They decide the 2/2 of the first overtaking, signed by Jacopo Sozzi a 8" from the end (38 points for him, 21 per Giulio Stroppa, double digit bounce for Alessandro Forino!) and the tireless defense not only of the last action, but of the last two quarters, which made it possible to recover. As always, everyone's contribution counts, in every cm of the field and in every second of the game. You win as a team, that's what matters most.
