The U16s played two qualifying matches. On the first, in Lucia, the match ended without a winner. Yesterday, the locals won in the hall of the Milojka Štrukelj Elementary School in Nova Gorica.

On the match, player Tomas Krajnc: "We were determined to win. We started very well, but then lost our rhythm at the expense of lost balls. We conceded too many three-pointers in the first half, which was a result of a lackluster defense. In the second half, we quickly built a favorable lead, but mistakes in defense followed, and we lost too many balls. Unfortunately, we lost the match, but 1. The league isn't lost yet. There's a way, so keep your heads up!"
