Double weekly commitment for the Juventus cadets who first lost narrowly at home against Saluzzo and then made up for it away by conquering Alba. In both matches, among coach Gatti's boys, the performances of Giorgi and Mogni stand out (double/double points-rebounds in Alba for both) while away from the basket Sala and Veronese make themselves felt.

A good first match also for the Under 15s of Derthona who beat the equalizers of Acca Basket of Alessandria on the PalaCamagna parquet. A more tiring start than expected for the Juventus students who relied on Santoro's initiatives in the first quarter. In the second half comes the decisive partial thanks to points from Pernigotti. In the last two quarters, coach Noli's boys resisted the return of their opponents and maintained a gap of about ten points until the siren.
