The Verfeillois Basket-Club (BCV) went to snatch the victory in Saint-Jory for an advanced match of the 20th day of the senior male regional championship (Division 2). A land where it is never easy to win!
However, with eight victories and eleven defeats, the Verfeil whites were assured of maintenance. The kick -off was given after a minute of tribute to the deceased father of a local player.
“We did not let go”
The 1st act turned to the advantage of Verfeil, on the score of 17-14 from the 10th minute. The fruit of the clumsiness of Saint-Jory basketball players, exploited with opportunism by visitors. With a simple and pleasant game, the white people kept their advance while the display panel attributed a 37-26 to the break. Upon returning from the locker room, the Saint-Joryens returned to the game, while Verfeil only accused 3 points ahead of the 3rd period. Insufficient to reverse steam, even after a breathtaking 4th quarter. The Mano in Mano concluded in favor of the BCV, winning 66 to 62. A 9th success that the men of Enzo Schmitt did not fly. “A great victory snatched at the end, when we had a great advantage,” said the coach. He adds: “We fought until the end. We did not drop anything. Saint-Jory put a big rhythm on the return from the locker room, undermining us. The goal of the season was the maintenance, we acquired it with a team renewed at the offseason”.
