Basketball: Scafati returns to Serie A after 14 years, beaten Cantù in game-5 of the final

The team of the patron Longobardi dominated the last race of the series, won at home 73-60. Campania thus returns to having two teams in the top flight (there is also Naples)

A more than deserved promotion in A. Scafati had a record of 25 wins and 5 losses in the regular season closed in first place, then in the playoffs he regulated Casale Monferrato 3-0 in the quarterfinals, Piacenza 3-2 in the semifinals and Cantù 3-2 in the final. Scafati has already been there in the top league for two seasons in a row, the last in 2008. Even then there was the patron Nello Longobardi (since the 90s at the helm of the company, an entrepreneur in the tomato canning sector), one who would spend whole days talking only about basketball, such is the passion for this sport.

Monaldi che bis

In the final act of tonight at Palamangano the Campanians, coached by the Neapolitan Alessandro Rossi, dominated far and wide, effectively closing the match after 20 ‘(40-19). The final was 73-60, with 18 points from a wild Clarke (5 triples in the first part of the race). With the promotion of Scafati, two Campania teams return to the top league (there is also Naples). Worth noting is Diego Monaldi who, after last year’s promotion with the Napoli shirt, made an encore with Scafati. Two promotions in a row, with two different clubs from the same region: if it’s not a record, it’s close.
