Team 1: first place in the championship during the regular season opened the doors to the semi-finals, with a view to seeking a place to compete for the title of champion of Occitanie. It was this last Saturday that the Piranhas traveled to Frontignan for this semi-final first leg. Deprived of Prince and Angel, Jean-Louis Degers’ men were able to cope to win 64-62. An indecisive meeting where the Castérois were led by 7 points a few minutes from the gong.
It was only until the buzzer that a last shot from Titouan did the ACR win in a match where the defenses took precedence over the offensive desires of both teams. Jean-Louis Degers analyzes: “Frontignan is a super athletic team with 4 players over 2 meters tall, including a former Pro B player. Professional players who really shook us up. From the start, they stepped on us but then we were able to express our game. During the last quarter, we found the collective to come back and go ahead in the money time. A victory in the end, but everything will be reset to zero because there was no significant point average.
Team 2: semi-final also for the Castérois but in a dry match away to Ibos. A team that had beaten the Piranhas twice during the regular season. Unfortunately for the ACR this was again the case on Sunday despite good resistance with a score of 84-76.
