The Under 17 Eccellenza, branded Allianz, ends 2024 with a home victory of great character against College Basketball, valid for the recovery of the first day of return. The team trained by coach Talpo thus maintains the direct clash in favor and consolidates the primacy in the group.
Difficult start for the hosts, with College taking advantage of the situation going to double digits of advantage, but the reaction of the Lions allows to end the quarter with only one point of detachment (16-17). In the second period the offensive and defensive aggressiveness of Derthona increases further, allowing to extend and go to the locker rooms at 48-36.
Upon returning to the field, College's reaction was not long in coming and, recovering much of the gap, they were only three points behind, increasing their chances of victory. In the last quarter, both teams pushed hard to secure the victory, but in the end Allianz Derthona managed to prevail, obtaining the twelfth consecutive victory in the championship.
The next match for the Under 17 Eccellenza is set for Sunday 12 January at 11:00 away against Biella Next.
