First experience "out" for the Debutant, that rise on the podium to Memorial Papini Rimini bringing a brilliant 3rd place to the member INVICTUS Academy, showing off for the first time the meshes with the Main Sponsor BIO12 athletes immediately bathed in success, with Zoran Savic joint specially to watch the final!
The boys coached by Ivan Cicchelli They exceeded all expectations, proving the group and making an exciting path, winning the round with a net 3-0 beating Monselice Basketball (36-35), TTB Pino Torinese (34-22) and Unio Basketball (49-21), and proving especially the best defense in the group, allowing only 25.3 points per game and segnandone 39.6, second best attack.
In semi-final defeat it came down to the wire with Meteor Renazzo, per 55-53, at the end of an exciting and hard-fought match until the last moment, projecting our "Oranges" the Final for 3rd-4th place Sunday morning.
In Santarcangelo it has occurred so "derby" Bologna already lived in the FIP Championship with PGS Bellaria. Won so exciting to INVICTUS Academy per 58-37, while the Trophy went to Rari Nantes Bordighera who beat Meteor to Renazzo 46-27, and watching the final, I wonder if we were us ... Final balance? 4 wins and 1 defeat, overtime!
The 3rd place finish on 12 contentendi is a complete victory, and was rightly celebrated as such by our Debutant, surrounded by their parents! able to "to group" likewise, on the sideline and out, giving to their children that extra push that proved to be decisive. Not by chance, the guys in the field have "that group" in the same way ...
We insist, Once again, on what matters most for us. Having seen kids happy, excited, loads. And especially united, They have passed the ball like never before, proving to be able to make that step forward (despite Ivan There has lost his voice ...), and will be the new point of ... Reboot!
Mostly, the boys and their parents welcomed in the best way the two "foreigners" come to reinforce the roster, Lexi Callueng (class 2008) e Vuk Scepanovic (class 2007). It does not matter if you speak only English, if they came from different countries (Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is Podgorica, Montenegro) and a completely different basketball (big balloon and rules to the youth sector, and it makes a big difference).
From the first moment, Lexi & wolf They were the best welcome from their "Italian teammates", as well as parents of the first (Alexander ed Evangelina) and the mother and sister of the second (May e My) I have been just as our "Italian parents"... Unforgettable lunch Casa Zanni Villa Verucchio, as well as the emotion at the time when, the night before the final, in the hotel lobby around the group he has delivered to the two boys t-shirt of the Adriatic Coast, autographed by all teammates!
