Deportivo Roca will return to Federal basketball

One of the usual basketball entertainers in the area returns to the national stage. It is about Deportivo Roca, who will play the next Federal Tournament, a contest that he knows very well. The initiative has been discussed more than once in these years, but it is the first time that it has taken on a certainty.

The news was confirmed over the weekend, after the qualification of Naranja to the semifinals of the Pre-Federal tournament after eliminating Del Progreso in the quarterfinals.

The team led by Sebastián García was part of the third category of national basketball for the last time in the 2013/2014 season with several of the protagonists who today make up the first team. Names like Adolfo García Barros and Juan Quercia bear witness to this, or even the coach himself.

With Agustín Sánchez as the most decisive player today and several good young values, the Depo will strengthen itself to be as competitive as possible in a very tough category that in the region has several experienced competitors.

El Naranja won the last Associative tournaments in the Alto Valle de Río Negro and after many years will return to the national stage. In the 90’s, his time at TNA and the National League was a registered trademark, because he carried the name of the city to different parts of Argentina.

In the immediate, Roca will be Petrolero’s rival in the Pre-Federal semifinals, where he has a home-field advantage in a three-game series. For its part, Centro Español will do the same against Pacífico.
