The National 3 women’s match this Sunday afternoon (4 p.m.) at La Primaube will be full of emotion for the Aveyronnaises, one of whom, Clémence Cabrit, was recently the victim of a serious traffic accident. What put basketball in the background.
For the past ten days, Elan Aveyron basketball has had its head elsewhere. The people are there, they train, they train, but the minds are elsewhere. They are at the bedside of Clémence Cabrit, emblematic and radiant player of the first team, victim of a serious road accident on Wednesday November 23 as she walked to her place of work.
Encouraging signs, but a long way to go
Urgently hospitalized in Rodez then transferred to Toulouse Purpan, she had been plunged into an artificial coma to alleviate a worrying state. Since Wednesday, the news has been better, Clémence has woken up, has shown encouraging signs, but there is still a long way to go. So in this context, the girls of the EAB pennant team have not really thought about basketball in recent days, as their coach Nicolas Flottes relates.
Nicolas Flottes: “It’s not easy to talk about the athlete”
“It’s the kind of thing that puts us in perspective. There is much more important than basketball. The workouts allow us to be together, to externalize. It’s not easy to talk about the athlete, it has only become secondary, but the group will still move forward together. “
Sunday, the players will be present to receive Tournefeuille, the third force of the hen according to the coach. “It’s a team that plays basketball well, it’s young, it runs. Certainly the team that will finish on the podium behind Chalosse and Cugnaux “, he says. Before adding: “Since the start of the season, they have left very little room for doubt, and have not failed against said small teams. “
Concerning the EAB, the Rouergat coach clearly evokes an urgent desire to arrive at the truce. “We were already in a difficult period, accusing two defeats in the last three matches, not to mention the relapse of Mathilde Mouysset who broke the crusaders again before even being able to resume officially.he laments. We are going to need rest and a break to see more clearly and refocus. It would still be good if we managed to grab a victory in the two remaining matches.“
Call for young people
On the effective side, Abla Sossa will always be at rest because of a painful knee. The young Léoni Miravitllas and Marine Routhe will be called upon, as well as the reservist Dorine Vigroux. They will be accompanied by the regulars of the team for an appointment that will certainly be like no other.
