ANGRI. It will be a Saturday of great emotions at the PalaGalvani. Angri Women, with a tap-off at 18, will face Basilia Basket Potenza. Coach Francesco Iannone’s girls will be called to avenge the -20 of the PalaPergola and climb up the standings. The Lucanians arrive at the appointment refreshed by the two points obtained in the undisputed match against New Basket Agropoli Paestum. For Angri it will be an opportunity to see the American Jasmina Jones at work for the first time, with a Finnish passport. To talk about the meeting the manager Rosaria Carotenuto, always close to the girls and Angrese society.
“The team’s progress so far has been positive. The staff is made up of many athletes at their first experience in this category. Furthermore, this year’s B has teams with superior category players, which gives even more value to the work done so far. We are perfectly in line with the goal of the club, which has never put any pressure on the athletes. Indeed, a growth path was asked of the staff, which is evident from race to race. We deserve the current standings, indeed we brood over a few games we lost also due to inexperience. The signing of Jasmina Jones is an added value to the project that Angri Pallacanestro has created starting from this season. A club historically committed to the men’s that decides to invest resources, time and passion in the women’s too is a very important signal for the basketball movement in the area. Surely JJ’s technical and athletic qualities will be useful to the team and I am convinced that coach Iannone will be able to make the most of it. His arrival has given new life to the girls, who are training with more attention and intensity. Against Potenza I expect everyone to enter the field with the tenacity that often distinguishes us and with a focus on the match plan prepared by the coach. The impact will be fundamental, there will be a need for great teamwork. Each of them will have to fight for every ball, then the field will decide the winner.”.
