Progre came close to the bump against Zárate

It left a bitter taste of progress for the defeat, but the good start of the season for the Rock team is maintained in the Argentine Basketball League. It is that those led by Juan Kass played a game goal by goal and lost by a small margin (82-80) against Zarate Basketball, one of the main candidates for promotion.

From the hand of Sebastián Chaine (20 puntos), Emilio Polese (14) y Lorenzo Capponi (13)the visit took advantage and showed their quality to stay ahead for much of the match.

It was not surprising because it is a team that the DT, Federico Martellini, he set up with the aim of moving up in category, something that was denied him last season when he lost the final of the tournament against Independiente de Oliva, who today play in the National League.

But this Progre wants to compete and a squad of many capable youngsters.
With its usual scoring distribution, the Auriazul always remained in play. led the offensive Emilio Santana (17), the experienced captain Gustavo Maranguello (15), Facundo Sanz (15) and Leonardo Solís (14).

A triple by Maranguello put the host up by a point for the first time with 2 minutes remaining, but the rival appealed to his hierarchy to regain control.

Missing 30 seconds, Progre was two points away and could not take advantage of his first chance with two free kicks from Sanz, one of the best in these first three games of the season. The inmate missed his shots, but the locals knew how to withstand Zárate’s next offensive and, with four seconds on the clock, Maranguello had a long three-point shot that flirted with the rim and went out.

Both the development of the meeting and the definition kept the public in suspense, who returned to respond in good numbers in the Giant.

Progress fell to 2-1 in the Conference South after its first loss, but it continues to show interesting things and establishes itself as a competitive rival in the complicated category.
The rock group promises to continue animating the nights of the city with a team that can win or lose, but until now they have always shown their people that they leave everything on the field.
