It is a very positive Ghisolfi Trophy for the black and white colors (100-75 the final) that is staged in a PalaCamagna packed in every row of seats and overflowing with enthusiasm for their favorites.
The Bianconeri approached the memorial of the former president of Derthona with the right defensive intensity and, assisted by excellent shooting percentages, managed to carve out a small break from the first minutes of the game, thanks to baskets by Greene IV (11) and Cosey ( 9). The first siren does not change the plot on the pitch, quite the opposite: the constant Juventus defensive pressure allows them to gain easy baskets on the counterattack, building the partial point after point which brings the score to 46-30 at 15' and 57-35 at the end 'interval.
Ferrara organizes a reaction in the third period and, led by Bowers, closes the score to 68-56 in the 30th minute, but Derthona is concentrated and doesn't allow space. Two three-point baskets from the young Cucci and Alviti bring the gap back to over twenty points and, in fact, close the score a few minutes early in favor of the home team.
After a brief appearance at Hop Hop Street Food, a street food festival held in the center of Tortona over the weekend, Captain Garri and his teammates will be busy already on Sunday afternoon in Fidenza in a friendly test against OraSì Ravenna, a club playing in the East group of Serie A2 like Ferrara.
So coach Cavina: “I'm happy because today we maintained a good defensive intensity throughout the match and, for the first time in the season, we managed to score continuously even from distance. I'm also satisfied with the ball circulation we put on the pitch. I am particularly pleased to have seen the stadium full, curious to see the new team at work and eager to remember a great friend of Derthona".
