The week of the youth teams: the C Gold finishes 7th and awaits the derby-playoff with Serravalle, the U15 Eccellenza bids farewell to the championship and prepares for the "Papini", joy-overtime for the U13 Gold
Not one of the happiest weeks in terms of results for the Derthona Basketball youth teams, but with a joyful ring coming from the U13 Gold. Above all, the double head-to-head clashes in Turin over the weekend which concluded the regular season of the match did not go well Serie C Gold Piedmontese and the second regional phase ofU15 Excellence. In the senior championship the Gulliver Supermarkets Derthona lost the actual play-off for the final 6th place at Don Bosco Crocetta, thus "reserving" an difficult first-round playoff against the number 2 seed, Tre Colli Serravalle. The 23-4 in the second period led to victory and overtaking the Turin team in the standings, with the Bianconeri finishing in 7th place with 15 wins and 11 losses. In the best of 5 matches, the quarter-final against the vice-leaders will start at the end of the month with the first two matches on the Serravalle parquet, the third and possible fourth at PalaCamagna and the even more possible "beautiful" one at Serravalle's home: whoever wins the series will immediately move up to the new Interregional Serie B, for the loser there will still be the possibility of gaining the fifth and final promotion up for grabs in Piedmont through two further rounds, the first against the loser of the quarter-final between Next Step Rapallo and Don Bosco Crocetta himself.
However, the 2022/23 championship ended on the CUS pitch of the U15 Excellence. Forced to win the last round of the Title Phase to access the Play-offs for the inter-regional matches, the Bianconeri were not enough to accumulate a significant advantage in the first half to get the better of the Cussini, who managed to secure the fourth and final position in the Title Group which will send them to the play-off against the fifth strength of Lombardy. For the boys coached by Federico Tosarelli, however, there is no time to regret: the team will now be involved in Rimini from 22 to 25 April in the prestigious "Claudio Papini Memorial".
He still can't move the rankingsU17 Excellence, the fourth defeat in as many matches in Interregional Group H of the second phase. An encouraging start, then the third period and the break at the beginning of the fourth condemned Pallacanestro Vado to pass to PalaCamagna, asserting their rights as the new regional champion of Piedmont and Liguria despite the great offensive performance of Armin Korlatovic. Third place, the last to qualify for the continuation of the year, is 6 points away with 6 rounds to go.
Before traveling with the Debutant heading to Alba for a tournament on the long weekend of April 25th, theU13 Gold (in the photo) took the first away victory of the second phase. After the defeat at home to the league leaders Gators Savigliano, Andrea Fanaletti's boys returned to moving their ranking in the Top 1 Group by beating ABA Saluzzo in extra time. In the overtime, the triple by MVP Leonardo Quaini, a basket by Marco Amos Gabbetta and a free throw by Marcello Toso were decisive.
