Great start from Rivarolo, despite the problems with Covid and the lost race. This evening a very important trip. Day of rest for Chivasso
rivarolo canavese
The basketball championship of C Silver resumes after the interruption for the Easter holidays, a championship in which Usac Rivarolo, in these first days, has become the protagonist.
Three victories, won on the field, against just one defeat, which, however, came to the table due to the lack of dispute in the match against Arona basketball due to the positivity of some rivarolese players at Covid.
Coach Titto Porcelli, although the boys affected have now tested negative for the swabs carried out, he will not be able to dispose of them until the first return but as a partial consolation Ronci’s return to the group must be recorded after the long stop that had prevented him from resuming preparation. with companions.
To tell the truth, the coach of the biancoblù has another worry that is linked to the physical condition of the only long left available for now, and that is Davide Longoni, who came out battered from the last match against Amici San Mauro. The ankle injury is on the mend but the use of the good central is in strong doubt in the match that will see the rivarolesi engaged tonight, Friday 9 April with a two-ball at 21, in Vercelli against the green-and-whites of Vercelli Rices .
fundamental meeting
This is a fundamental comparison for the purposes of the top area of the ranking. In fact, in case of victory, the boys from Porcelli will dig a groove between themselves and the Vercelli people that will be difficult to fill in the remaining races. Recall that the first two of the group are certainly promoted and there is hope for the third as well.
In case of success the Vercelli will reduce the distances and will re-enter the fight for the first place in the standings. Particularly worth keeping an eye on among the ranks of the Vercelli people is the giant Jacopo Ghezzi, a center over two meters high, which stirs the sleep of Porcelli who is leafing through the daisy to understand who to entrust his marking. Other interesting men on the green-and-white roster are guard Tommaso Morello and small forward Matteo Raise. To bring home President Alessandro Castagna’s victory to Usac, another team test will be needed, made up of tenacity and sacrifice like those already shown in previous races. On the other hand, Chivasso Basketball will take its rest, fresh from the first seasonal success obtained on the parquet friend of Crescentino against Reba Basket Torino. How much suffering, however, to get the first pink report of the season, especially in light of the 22 points advantage that the boys of coach Wannes Pomelari had accumulated when there were only 8 ‘at the end of the match. At that point, fatigue, frenzy and anxiety took over the green-and-white players so much that the Turin players took advantage of it and with a 19-0 run with the ball in hand just over 1 ‘from the last siren, they returned to the game. Fortunately, carriers and companions in the last seconds of the game found a minimum of defensive solidity and thanks to three fundamental plays by Cester, Pagetto and Cambursano they managed to bring home the full result. In these days of rest coach Pomelari will have to work on these drops in concentration to prevent the repetition of these situations in view of the return to the parquet that will see the green-and-whites of Chivassesi host the Amici San Mauro on April 17.
