➤ Horbourg-Wihr fem. – SIG III, Sunday (5 p.m.): the last day of the first phase was fatal for Horbourg-Wihr, who lost in his Kastler room against his runner-up Eckbolsheim (57-63). It was not planned in the table of march, especially not at home.
President Jaeglé’s players were weighed down by a bad first half (nine points behind). The Bas-Rhinoises held on and did not give in after the break. As a result, Horbourg-Wihr and Eckbolsheim are now tied (6 v, 1 d) at the top of the Prénationale. For the opening of the return matches, the Reds intend to restart the forward march. Distrust, because the SIG III, despite its three setbacks, is never very far from its adversaries.
➤ Hattmatt – KABCA II, this Saturday (8:30 p.m.): the Kaysersberge reserve suffered its sixth defeat in seven matches, at home against Weitbruch. However, after a failed first quarter (-9), Maël Bourblanc (30 points) and his teammates fought back to worry one of the championship favorites, until the start of the fourth quarter (-4). No doubt tired by a lack of rotation, they let Weitbruch fly away to victory (72-83).
The trip to the Saverne region, to the promoted Hattmatt, is always feared by the Haut-Rhin teams, given the travel time. The KABCA II will have to be dashing to overcome the Bas-Rhinois, who remain on a convincing success in Holtzheim.
➤ Geispolsheim – Eguisheim, this Saturday (5:15 p.m.): Eguisheim can once again bite its fingers. For not entering the match against ASA (Gries) straight away, the Vignerons squandered their hopes in the first quarter. The young Bas-Rhinois took the opportunity to widen a big gap in ten minutes (11-26). The debates were then balanced but the damage was done.
At -17 at the start of the last quarter, the mission became almost impossible. It was and Schoenacker’s team lost (73-83). The Greens share the red lantern with their neighbor, KABCA II. More consistency will be required to hope to win a success on the road to Geispolsheim, whose record is not famous (3 v, 4 d).
Regional 2
➤ Dessenheim – Riedisheim II, this Saturday (8:30 p.m.): bis repetita. Already defeated against SIG II in the money time because of several losses of ball while the victory tightened the arms to him, the ASL Dessenheim redo the same “coup” vis-a-vis the leader, Mulhouse/Pfastatt II.
The Hardtois, skilful and combative, almost succeeded in the feat. But many blunders in the last minute were prohibitive. And the band in Libanet ended up with a fifth defeat in seven days. An unsatisfactory record for the leaders of the ASLD, who are counting on a reaction from their players to finally secure a new success against Riedisheim II.
➤ Schaeffersheim – Eguisheim women, this Saturday (5:15 p.m.): the ordeal endured by the women of Eguisheim since the start of the championship (they have lost all their matches by an average of 40 points) is likely to continue in Schaeffersheim. Can’t wait for 2e phase…
