Castelnuovo between goodbyes confirmations and new faces Bonasia remains, the play Marangoni arrives

CASTELNUOVO WRITES

Among confirmations, departures and new grafts, Autosped Castelnuovo Scrivia is taking shape. The Piedmontese team is very active on the market and in the last hours, after the confirmation of the playmate Valentina Bonasia, who will wear the red and white tank top for the second consecutive season, the signing of Sofia Marangoni, 27-year-old play-guard, has arrived. just finished at Alpo Villafranca with which she was the best scorer in the Northern group with an average of almost 18 points per game. Sofia, of Veronese origins, also grew up, like Gianolla, another new addition to the Giraffes, in the Reyer nursery (with which she made her A1 debut at 18) and in the Venetian youth teams she won the under 19 championship in 2013. She wore the blue jersey in all the youth categories, winning the bronze medal at the European under 16 championships in 2011. The new castelnovese can already boast considerable experience in the top flight since in addition to Venice she has trod the A1 parquet with the Parma jerseys and Turin. After leaving the Piedmontese capital, Marangoni married the Campobasso project for three years; with her team from Molise, she played two seasons in A2 and one in A1 (where, among other things, she had Bonasia as her partner) before coming back home, in the last year, arriving in Villafranca.

However, it is also time to say goodbye to the Castelnuovo house. Ilaria Bonvecchio, Claudia Colli, Francesca Pia D’Angelo and Ada De Pasquale will not be part of the 2022-23 roster. The company thanked the four girls for their professionalism and humanity. In the meantime, the adventure of the under 15s in the national final of the category championship in Friuli ended in the quarter-finals. The Giraffes were defeated by Roma Team Up 40-53, after finishing second in the eliminatory round and defeating Lapolismile Torino 46-38 in the second round. Now it’s up to the Under 19 team committed to Battipaglia: their debut tomorrow at 2.30pm against Costa Masnaga.
