The judge, as expected, gave the 0-20 in the match with Arona Rivarolo without the six positives at Covid goes to Turin with Reba Chivasso plays on Saturday night
RIVAROLO CANAVESE
Defeat at the table, but no penalty. The most difficult week has passed for Rivarolo, due to the six basketball players who tested positive at Covid, which led to the non-dispute of the match against Arona basketball scheduled for last Saturday. The defeat by the sports judge arrived by 0-20 without however penalizing points in the standings.
Usac Rivarolo resumed training this week after the turn of quick antigenic swabs that gave negative results for all the other members of the team group. Coach Titto Porcelli has thus begun to prepare for the next match that sees the biancoblù playing next Sunday 21 March at the PalaMoncrivello in Turin against Reba basketball (6.30 pm).
It will be a remodeled Usac that will come down on the parquet in via Moncrivello due to the absence, which is expected to be very prolonged, about 45 days between healing and mandatory waiting before eligibility, for the four basketball players of the first team. Porcelli will have to make up for the absence of the longs, perhaps by inventing new roles for Longoni and Ferraresi with the consequent grafting of promising youngsters such as Castello and Battaglia. The important thing, however, will be to return to the field hoping not to run into other setbacks.
The Chivasso basketball, still dry of victories, he wants to recover after the defeat suffered in the clash with the battleship Bea Chieri, in a match where the third period was fatal to the green-and-whites of coach Pomelari: few points in attack and defense that was not able to contain the D’Arrigo class. Eventually the race was closed with an honorable gap.
In this round, the Pomelari boys are looking for the first points of the season in the away match at Arona basketball with a duo ball on Saturday at 9 pm. Not an easy feat because Picazio and his partners make up a team with the right mix of experience and youth in which the new Filippo Romerio, center, and Nicolò Ravazzani, small forward, considerably raise the quality of the complex.
The Chivassesi will have to try to set the race on the rhythm so as not to suffer the physicality of the opponents and at the same time to improve the game in one on one, a situation that in Chieri was decisive in a negative sense.
Complete the program of the 3rd first day: (Saturday 20 March at 9 pm) Vercelli Rices-Bea basketball Chieri. Rest: Amici San Mauro. Ranking. Bea Basket Chieri 4 points; Usac Rivarolo, Amici San Mauro, Arona basket and Vercelli Rices 2 points; Chivasso basketball and Reba basket Torino 0 points. –
