Angri Pallacanestro returns to PalaGalvani on Sunday to face a resurgent Marigliano in the eighth round of the B Interregionale championship.
Coach Francesco Chiavazzo’s squad enters the match following a defeat away to Gela, Salerno In Web reported. Despite a strong 18-point performance from newcomer Edoardo Cortese at PalaLivatino, the team could not complete a late-game comeback after conceding too much ground in the third quarter.
The defeat did not disrupt team morale, and the group has trained at full capacity ahead of the weekend fixture. Meanwhile, Promobasket Marigliano arrives under the direction of coach Roberto Castaldo, who replaced Valerio Spinelli and has secured two victories in their last three outings. Marigliano’s recent additions include players such as Clement, Falappi, Capocotta, Caroè, and Di Giuliomaria.
Angri officially strengthened its backcourt rotation this week with the acquisition of Cortese, a 192-centimeter guard-forward born in 2006. Cortese previously played for Conte Verde Basket Rivoli and Pallacanestro Fulgor Fidenza, where he made 32 appearances during the 23/24 season and contributed to the club’s promotion in B Nazionale. He spent the most recent campaign with Pallacanestro Antoniana, averaging nearly nine points per game.
“I am thrilled to start this new adventure in Angri and to give my best to help with the project that coach Chiavazzo outlined to me when he sought me out,” Cortese told Salerno In Web.
“Against Marigliano, it will be an intense match, because they will want to continue their winning streak. We, thanks to the push of the public, must bring home the success, playing as we know,” Cortese added.
