The finals of the 17th edition of the Benjamins Challenge organized by the French Basketball Federation (FFBB), in partnership with the “Junior NBA” program, have just been held in Paris. The two Gers representatives, Enzo Perotto (from Valence-Condom Gers Basket) and Sarah Dubos (from JSR Riscle Basket), finished respectively in 13th (men’s table) and 8th (women’s table) places in the ranking, a few points behind podium.
There were 15,980 on the starting line. At the end of the club, departmental and then regional selection phases. 62 young boys and girls, aged 11 and 12, from mainland France and overseas, participated on Friday in the national finals of the Benjamins Challenge by completing the four individual events. A mix of shooting, passing and dribbling, the events call on speed and skill. Unforgettable memories of seeing their life-size idol Victor Wembanyama on the floor of the packed Accor Arena in Paris-Bercy (15,000 people), where they were presented at half-time of the match. After all their emotions, they took advantage of the spectacle offered by this weekend of Coupe de France category U17, Cholet-Villeurbanne, and pro with in particular Basket Landes-Bourges and Dijon-Strasbourg. The two young Gers representatives, residents of the Gers Basket training center in Lectoure, raised the colors of their clubs (Valence-Condom and Riscle), their department and their region to the highest level.
