Euphoric weekend for the Vallon basketball players who have won a whole series of victories. While their elders have experienced a slow period with the postponement of many matches because of the Covid, the young categories of Basket Vallon are holding on and always responding. It was the very young U7s who got the ball rolling on Saturday morning by participating enthusiastically in the Rignac tournament.
Equally motivated, the U11s also obtained very satisfactory results at the Carnival tournament in Villefranche-de-Rouergue. The older players also continued their good momentum: the U13 girls largely won at Pradines (57-16), while the U17 boys won 57-34 against a catchy and valiant Ruthenian team, after widening the gap at the end of the meeting. As for the senior girls, they achieved the feat of the weekend by winning against Basket Club Bassin Houiller (73 – 69), thus obtaining a magnificent victory which qualifies them for the final of the Aveyron-Lozère Committee Cup. Despite an incomplete squad, it is thanks to their concentration and their experience that they managed to surpass themselves to overcome an opposing team that was not unworthy.
In the opinion of many supporters present, it was “a very thrilling game” which kept the large audience spellbound until the final whistle, with the final decisive minutes. The next meeting has already been marked on the agenda of all Vallon basketball fans, it will be that of the final which will take place on the Ascension weekend in the Amphitheater room in Rodez.
