VL Pesaro: Di Francesco 6, Aloi 3, Sgarzini 7, Colotti, Siepi 3, Sablich P. 9, Stazzonelli 11, Sablich G. 4, Grimaldi 2, Ghiselli 3, Prenga 12, Dia 13. All.: Luminati.

The Angels/RBR visit the unbeaten leaders Pesaro in the last round of the Under 19 championship. The hosts prove to be a physical team with Stazzonelli, Sablich and Dia dictating the pace of the game against the Angels who suffer from the physicality and rhythm of the hosts. Despite the gap, the Angels try to hang on to the match with Rossi and Mulazzani but Pesaro flexes its muscles and at the long interval we go to the locker room with an important gap.
Coach Bernardi grooms his team in the locker room giving technical and tactical advice on how to deal with the physicality of Pesaro. Upon returning said done for the Angels. Morandotti warms up, Rossi gets important rebounds. However, Lombardi made the difference, deployed as number 3, who with his intensity puts Pesaro in difficulty and mends the distance between the teams. In the last quarter the hosts lined up in the zone. Morandotti arms his hand, Sirri manages to come out and captain Dario Rossi shows his teeth in his last youth match.
A super Santarcangelo rises from minus 20 and draws the game with 2 minutes. From here heart-pounding final. Pesaro makes a triple, Morandotti responds with a foul and a basket. Stazzonelli makes 1/2 to free throws after several question and answer. The Angels have 12 seconds and manage to find a good shot at the end which, however, does not find the bottom of the retina. The Rimini players come out with their heads held high and thus ends the journey in the Under 19 Eccellenza championship 2022/23.
UNDER 17 OF EXCELLENCE
Pontevecchio-Angels/RBR 74-59 (20-17, 23-13, 18-10, 13-19)
Angels/RBR: Valmaggi 9, Baschetti 5, Godenzini 2, Pivetti 5, Curci, Innocenti 9, Marsili 2, Pansolini, Frisoni 2, Amaroli 8, De Gregori 9, Di Giacomo 8. All.: Brugè. Ass.: Miriello.
Away defeat for the Under 17 d’Eccellenza against Pontevecchio. Ready and go the game becomes a battle where the two teams respond blow by blow, but it is the away team thanks to individual plays that closes the first 10 minutes ahead on the score of 20-17. In the second quarter the Angels struggle to contain the 1v1 of the opponents who will be able to maintain the advantage and go to the long break with a score of 43 to 30.
In the second half the Angels try to fight showing good defenses and through counter-attacks they manage to come back point by point getting closer to the home team. But a break in the last minutes by Pontevecchio allows to recreate a gap between the two teams and to bring home the victory with a score of 74 to 59.
UNDER 15 OF EXCELLENCE
Unahotels Reggio Emilia-IBR/RBR 88-64 (22-13, 22-16, 18-17, 26-18)
IBR/RBR: Tassani 11, Frisoni, Almasi 7, San Martini 2, Cervetti, Arcangeli 2, Altini 4, Ruggeri 27, Ronci 9, Tura 2. All.: Carasso. Ass.: Gollinucci, Verni.
Defeat for the Under 15 d’Eccellenza warriors on the difficult field of Reggio Emilia. Rimini away on the difficult and prestigious field of Reggio Emilia is decimated with Ricci, Longo and Bracci absent due to flu and injuries. The inertia of the game immediately belongs to the landlords who move ahead at 15-3, thanks to the lack of defensive attention from the Rimini players in the first minutes of the game. Ruggeri in attack tries to mend the disadvantage thanks to his penetrations. The first quarter ends 22-13 for Reggio Emilia. In the second quarter Rimini continues to suffer from the physicality of the opponents who gain many offensive rebounds and manage to be more reactive on loose balls. Despite the difficulties, the Ibr manage to stay in the game finishing the first half behind but still inside the game (44-29).
In the second half the Warriors get closer in scoring but in the long run the hosts assert their physical superiority and conquer the pink sheet. Reggio Emilia wins 88-64
Next game on Monday 3 April, 7.20 pm, at Carim against Virtus, hoping to recover all the boys as soon as possible.
Come on Rimini!
