The cadet team, boys born in 2003 and younger, played an away match in Tolmin. Both teams have had the same record so far this season, with a win against Pivka and a loss against Logatec. Our boys set off in the early hours of the morning, which woke us up and prepared us for the game. The first quarter of the game belonged to our boys, 14:18. Until half-time, the advantage remained the same, despite the fact that all players were given a chance to play in the first half, including six players from the pioneering U15 team.

In the third quarter, the wings of Tumpić Bordon (35 points, 5 threes), increased the lead to 8 points, but on the defensive end they were late in covering the visiting shooters, who scored 23 points in this part of the game. Complete dominance of the home side followed in the last half, although we managed to settle the score in the last minute of the meeting, it was not enough. The playful home shooters hit three-point shots, our carriers' hands shook in the end, we had no luck with tactical personal errors. A well-deserved victory of the team from Tolmin with 79:73, for us the game presented a good school that it is necessary to play all 40 minutes aggressively in defense.

Coach's statement: "We were the better opponent in the beginning, but we didn't position ourselves best defensively, which led to open throwing situations for the home team. I pointed out a good throw for the three guests, we fell asleep a couple of times and let them play. It's a good school for us to be even more aggressive in the future, we need to keep our concentration for the whole 40 minutes. I would like to praise Uroš Medja, who does not show that he is two years younger than his opponents, I would like to congratulate the whole team for the introduction and Petr for a great shooting day, because five threes are not easy to hit."

The boys have no time to mourn, Tumpić Bordon is away with the junior A in Slovenske Konjice at 19:00. Oset, Vogrin and Godec host the youth B team of Ljubljana at 16:00 at ŠD Lucija. Mušicki, Medja, Stanivnik, Cenin, Kozlovič and Kličić are "guest" at ŠD Lucija against the u15 3x3 Piran team.
