On Friday night, the 9th of March, after a busy week at the university we, 5 players (Rens, Djordje, Glenn, Bob and Florian) of gents 3 and Kwa from the recreationals, came together at the sports center. Klaas wasn’t there tonight, so the injured Stijn would be coaching us. After a little stress about the shirts (we didn’t know who had them) we drove to Nijverdal. Read more.
Ladies 1 vs Kikkers Ladies 1
The ladies played last Friday against Kikkers from Borne. The warming-up was a little bit different than normal. It started in sportzaal 2 and after 21:00 everything needed to be prepared in sporthal 2. After that the ladies started their game against the number 4 of the competition. And they are number 4 for a reason. Read more.
The first quarter started somewhat slow, but quite surely the lay-ups started to hit and the shots started to fall. Gents 3 had already faced Amical 3 earlier, but in the first quarter the lead already started to build faster than the match before. In the second quarter the Arriba defense tightened further and with good results. Many Amical passes were intercepted and before they knew it, the fast breaks of Gents 3 hit their basket again and again. Read more.
Last Saturday, gents 3 went on a journey all the way to the north of Enschede to play The Jugglers. The previous match against this team resulted in a loss, so they knew it wasn’t going to be an easy game.
In the first quarter, both teams started off with a few quick points and the score was even when the first 5 minutes of Q1 were over. Read more.
With six people and three cars (and someone going by bike), gents 3 was going to their first match after the holiday. Last time Arriba defeated the Buzzards with a 13-point difference, but they would still have to work hard this game, especially since coach Klaas had other business to attend to. Luckily for Arriba, veteran Gerben was there to help them out. Read more.
You get nothing for nothing. That’s a generally agreed upon rule that counts for the whole universe. It’s the basis of thermodynamics and is as eternal as the laws of nature. Concrete and rational. We’re in Urk, where it’s an hour later and the people talk funny. Gents 1 has it’s mind set to better the score from the previous match. Read more.
The Game: Veni vedi vici! Well, Gents 1 wished it was as easy as abc playing
Twente Buzzards.
The well-oiled machine from Hengelo consists of players that trained and
competed together from their childhood.
I first noticed old veteran Keoma-jaoquim, also played for Arriba back in the
gold age and is back in his old friends. Buzzards also happened to beat Scylla
(Gent’s one opponent and number 2 in the standings). Read more.
After having one weekend of being game free we could finally get back to
work against Twente Buzzards from Hengelo. Too bad for us the Saint is back
in Holland so on paper we only had six players who could attend the game.
With most of us being well on time, Sjoerd managed to arrive just 15 minutes
before the game started. Read more.
Last Saturday it was the final chance for H2 to grab a win in 2017. After a gruesome period with loss after loss it was time to fight for the points. Before, the D1 obliterated the opponent with 107-7. Standards were high for this game day.
H2’s opponent was slightly more challenging. The Peatminers acquired a new centre, extending their big-man-pool to 3. Read more.
Super Saturday’s last game of the night was Gents 3’s time to shine. Playing against The Jugglers 4, the second team in the standings, it was again going to be a difficult game, playing the leading team the match before
Not many point were made during the first quarter of the game. Some missed free throws from both teams and a bit of careless ball handling meant that the quarter ended with only eight points for both teams. Read more.
