Pre-match

19 h 58. The “five” are known!

For Blois: Chambers, Vergiat, Damase, Morency and Alingue.

For EBPLO: Ledlum, Whyte, Pinault, Sherrill and Raharimanantoana.

19 h 53. The first part of the tribute to Mickaël Hay has just taken place, with a moving video of around two minutes over ten years of the magnificent journey of the ADA under the orders of the Bressuire technician, who has just received a hand chart by Julien Monclar and Paul Seignolle.

19 h 50. Beyond these celebrations, there is above all a basketball match to be played between two teams with opposing dynamics. ADA Blois, at the top of the division with nine successes for a single loss (during the last home match against Orléans), receives an Élan Béarnais, first budget in the division, which has been slipping since the beginning of October (six losses for a single victory against Roanne a week ago) after the solid start to the season (four wins).

Despite current fatigue, linked to recent long trips, ADA Blois hopes to continue its momentum before the break in a week.

19 h 46. Contacted during the week by the NR, Mickaël Hay also confided that he had “lots of fun coming back” in Blois or even that this tribute bothers him a little, he “who doesn’t really like what is individual”but who “will take it as a celebration of ten years of success for an entire club”.

19 h 43. And “special match”as Timothé Vergiat confided to us yesterday, because the Élan Béarnais Pau-Lacq-Orthez is now coached by Mickaël Hay. Dismissed from his position at the ADA on February 15 after ten years of collaboration and eleven seasons (2013-2024), the emblematic coach of the Blésois club is making his return to Blois this Saturday evening and will be honored, before and after the part.
