U17 Eccellenza hits the College Cup rock but makes up for it in the championship, U19 Eccellenza overwhelming against Omegna
Weakened by the many matches played in the previous days, by the absence of an important director like Lorenzo Baldi and by an iron group, theUnder 17 Excellence of Bertram Yachts Derthona she returned with the eighth and final place from the first edition of the competitive competition College Cup 2022.
A Borgomanero some of the candidates to win the category championship and the team coached by were present Luca Ansaloni they faced practically all of them in the qualifying round, against the hosts of college basketball, To Stella Azzurra Rome passing through the Florence Basketball Academy. Paradoxically with the Tuscan team winning the group - then beaten in the final by Vanoli Cremona – the young Bianconeri offered the greatest resistance, more strenuous than the final -18 suggests. Passive in any case very dignified if compared to the clear defeats of the first and last match of the group against Borgomanero and Stella Azzurra, against whom there has never been a match. The last place in the qualifying phase led to the final for seventh place being played against Pall. Forlì 2015, fourth match in less than 72 hours – and sixth in five days considering the previous commitments of the Derthona boys in the U17 Eccellenza and C Silver championships – and also lost quite clearly. We knew right from the start that the tournament would be tough to face, it would be useful above all to understand how much distance there was between Derthona, who are still fighting with great ambitions to snatch a place in the inter-regional phase of the championship, and a slice of the elite national category.
STATEMENTS "We don't have the structure right now to play four games in three days at a high level, that's out of the question”, analyzes coach Ansaloni. "Furthermore, we don't have the structure to play with the physicality that the top-tier teams that participated in the tournament showed. It's clear that we can play with the others and we can certainly do it better, but let's say that everything served as a parameter to understand what we should try to aim for, what the U17 level of the best teams in Italy is, because certainly in Borgomanero there were a good part of the best youth sectors in the nation".
In championshipHowever, the second "Top" phase is continuing to go in the right direction. After the home success against Don Bosco Crocetta, the Bianconeri conceded an encore again at PalaCamagna, easily overcoming Biella Next by 80-59, going on the velvet in the second half relying on the offensive streak of Davide Ansevini, top scorer with 18 points together with Gloris Tambwe, also well supported by Noah Lam. With the 2-0 in the standings, the U17s thus maintain unchanged their ambitions of arriving among the top three in the Ligurian-Piedmontese championship standings and thus reaching the next phase, with the first promoted directly to the National Final, the second to the Play-offs and the third in the pre-play-offs.
U19 EXCELLENCE Overwhelming, and in some ways surprising, statement against the Fulgor Omegna on the eighth day of return of the single Ligurian-Piedmontese group by the U19 Eccellenza. Against the third force in the championship and down by 6 at halftime, Bertram posted a record-breaking second half: 56-22 partial, a third quarter won 30-7 and a sensational 12/20 on three-pointers, with Leonardo Rota (top scorer with 18 points and 4/5 threes) and Carlo Zonca to show the way for the rest of his teammates for the final +28. For the Bianconeri came the seventh victory in sixteen matches and the strengthening of seventh place in the standings, which means maintaining a firm position in the second quartet of the rankings with 6 rounds to go, necessary to compete for at least the fifth final place at level regional in the final four that will take place at the end of the regular season for the teams classified from fifth to eighth place.
