During the weekend of March 11 and 12, the flagship teams of the Basket-Club de Grisolles shone with a thousand lights.
Undefeated to date, 14 games, 14 wins, we can say that the senior boys of the club fly over the debates in their championship. On Saturday March 11, they faced team 2 from Moissac to validate an unblemished record in the regular season. At the gates of a first unprecedented achievement, even at the departmental level, they did not crack. Better, they offered to the many spectators present in the dilapidated gymnasium one of their best matches. Few lost balls, patience in attack, an aggressive defense well in place, were the elements that allowed them to gradually take control of the match. Opposite, the Moissagais had the respondent but despite their efforts, the gap widened inexorably. + 8 after ten minutes, + 12 at half-time then + 16 before attacking the last quarter. The Grisollais then moved up a gear and suddenly, the ground swell fell with power on players from Moissac completely overwhelmed. The senior boys won 92-61 for their fourteenth victory. They can now calmly approach their semi-final which will start on March 25, at home.
Sunday, March 12, the senior girls of BCG achieved another resounding performance by winning with a squad of six players against a very solid team from Gaillac. Faced with such a reduced rotation, the Gaillacoises tried to set a hellish pace to take advantage of the fatigue thus generated. But the Grisollaises had enough strength to resist and little by little put their mark on the meeting. Determined, concentrated like never before, they executed their game without panicking. And as Gaillac went 8-0 to take a six-point lead three minutes from the end of the third quarter, the Grisollaises responded with three 3-point banderillas that gave them the lead.
Tied at the start of the last quarter, the Grisolles girls managed to maintain their lucidity without lowering their defensive intensity. And it is in the last four minutes that Gaillac will end up abdicating under the accuracy of the game of Grisollaises managing to vary their attacks to find collective solutions. Decidedly, these fierce fighters never cease to amaze.
