Good morning Sphinxers! It’s already been a while, but I would still like to present to you the recap of Sphinx D-Day. In other words, it’s time for another #SphinxWeeCaps !!!
Saturday 8-4 12:00 | BV Sphinx DS1 – Twente Buzzards (63 – 49)
Sonia: Last game promised to be interesting since we lost the away game against this team. We started winning by 12 with a good offense and defense, but then they reached us and were close to the score. We still had a lead of about 5 points in the halftime. Both teams played with intensity trying to win the last game. Their press made us nervous and it was difficult to score, but when we organized our play, we managed to make a good difference in the score. It was a nice way to finish the league being second! And thank you for your support.
Saturday 8-4 14:00 | BV Sphinx HS1 – BV Batouwe HS2 (100 – 62)
Easy win for men’s 1st. In between the exciting games of the ladies and men’s 2nd, we had a less important matchup against a team from the bottom of our league. Despite that they started quite strong, it became soon clear that we were going to win this game with relative ease. This reflected on our concentration, especially in defense, and therefore we allowed them to score way too many points, namely 62. This was not really a problem since we found our rhythm offensively, leading to us scoring a season-high of 100 points. Conclusion: not a pretty game but eventually a solid W.
Saturday 8-4 16:00 | BV Sphinx HS2 – Black Stars HS1 (64 – 50)
Last Saturday in the last and most important game of the season Sphinx HS2 had to overcome one more time the tough team from Rhenen (Black Stars) in order the players of Wageningen’s University team become Champions! The game started with Sphinx leading in the score finding free shots against the zone defense of Black Stars! The team from Rhenen achieved to approach the score but not to take the lead due to the good and determined defense of Sphinx’s players! The end of the game found us to win the game by 14 points and celebrate the Championship for the first time in our history! Sphinx HS2 Champions 2016-2017!
Once again thank you all for the support, it was a perfect ending to an amazing season for us.
Last weekend two home games were played by both our Men’s and Ladies’ First team! Let’s see how everything worked out for them, it’s time for another #SphinxWeeCaps!!
Friday 24-3 19:00 | BV Sphinx DS1 – Landstede Basketbal ZAC DS2 (66 – 30)
Sonia: Although we didn’t play well, we won 66-30. We started playing too slow basketball. We knew that the opponent was the last in the league, but instead of destroying them from the first minute, we adapted to their slow play. We scored very few points in the first half and our defense wasn’t intense. But the shouts of coach Patinios in the half-time were useful and the game changed. We improved our offense and defense in the third quarter. And in the last quarter we played like we know and we scored 26 points.
Friday 24-3 21:00 | BV Sphinx HS1 – JRC HS1 (79 – 58)
Sphinx Men’s 1st seems back on track in win against JRC Boxtel. Friday evening we played JRC Boxtel at home. Since we played horrible and lost the away game against them, we were very eagered to win this game. We started sharp and by playing intense defense we took an early lead. We managed to hold on to this lead throughout the first half, which made that we had a lead of about 15 points at halftime. The second half we started sloppy, allowing them to get back in the game. However, after some timeouts we got it back together and played out the game with relative ease. Final score: 79-58
