Africa-Press – Cape verde. <\/strong><\/span>The Maracana\u0303 team, senior female, sub-18 level, won last Sunday, September 3rd, the title of National Basketball Champion. The team from the Ponta d \u0301A\u0301gua neighborhood, in the city of Praia, beat the Sarda Basketball School (EBS), from Sa\u0303o Vicente, by 67-63 in the final held at the Polidesportivo de Oeiras in Mindelo, Sa\u0303o Vicente.<\/p>\n

Maracana\u0303, which belongs to the sports region of Santiago Sul, also won the individual award for Best MVP, awarded to the player Je\u0301ssica Vaz.<\/p>\n

For Maracana\u0303 coach Valdir Dias, quoted by Inforpress, the Federation needs to invest in women’s basketball because that’s “where the future lies”. He recalled that his athletes have been training in a field that is not covered and with precarious conditions, but even so they train every day.<\/p>\n

About winning the championship, Valdir Dias, said that he instilled in the minds of the athletes that the game in the final would be different because \u201cin the finals there are no strong teams\u201d, but those who manage to play.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s a game played and today we ran more and we were happy. I think it’s good for us to continue. On a personal level, I remember that the first time I coached the team, I told them that we would be regional champions in Praia and at the national level and that came true\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

Je\u0301ssica Vaz: \u201cBest Player of the Tournament\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the best MVP, Je\u0301ssica Vaz, from Maracana\u0303, \u201cthe game was not easy\u201d, but winning the title was due to \u201cteam determination\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe fought hard to get here. The last game was the most complicated and we knew we weren’t at home, but we ended up recovering points and winning”, he added, defending that being elected the “Best Player of the Tournament” has a lot of meaning, but he cannot express it with words.<\/p>\n

The Under-18 Senior Women’s National Basketball Championship took place in Mindelo, Sa\u0303o Vicente with the participation of the sports regions of Santiago, Sal and Santo Anta\u0303o.<\/p>\n
