Young talent from Rasta Vechta convinces despite the defeat in Quakenbrück!
On Saturday evening, the young program of the Rasta Vechta basketball club once again impressively demonstrated what is being done in the region. While the farm team had to compete against the Artland Dragons in Barmer 2nd Basketball Bundesliga Proa, important game elements were established on several levels. The youngest, including 16- and 17-year-olds, were able to collect valuable playing time, while three key players of Rasta Vechta II had to bring in their experience in the basketball league cup.
The away win against the Basketball Löwen Braunschweig, which took place at the same time, was particularly remarkable, which, despite the forced missions of younger players and the absence of further talents, succeeded. Luc van Slooten, Kaya Bayram and Linus Trettin contributed decisively to the 89:68 success with their valuable contributions. This shows not only the depth of the squad, but also the ability of the young players to prove themselves in critical moments.
game impressions and strategies
The head coach of Rasta II, Hendrik Gruhn, commented on the game and emphasized that the team started with a lot of energy despite the clear defeat. "The result may look negative, but we were able to present the dragons with challenges and start the first quarter with a committed performance," said Gruhn. He emphasizes the positive aspects, such as the season of the talented 16-year-old Moritz Grüß and Marko Petric, as well as the 17-year-old players Djairo Bernardina and Fynn Lastring.
Despite the successes, however, the weaknesses of their own way of play were also recognized. A massive slump in the second quarter of the game ensured that the dragons were able to play out a clear advantage. A phase in which the Vechtaer not only lost the connection became a solid performance, but also had to fight with the physical superiority of the opponents. "We have to learn to better adjust to such a physical gait," said Gruhn.The statistics of the game show the contrasting achievements of the two teams: Rasta II only hit 35 % of his throws, while the dragons achieved an excellent hit rate of 61 %. The Quakenbrücker were also dominant in rebounding, which was reflected in the number of the conquered balls.
representation of the players and fans
The audience in the Artland Arena, around 2,600 in number, became witnesses to the development of the Vechta team. Newcomer Luke House was able to make himself useful at the beginning of the game and scored valuable points. Jonathan Klussmann, who is also new to the team, provided a strong performance with a total of 22 points and was the top scorer of the game, shared with Tayler Johnson from the Dragons.
Despite the final defeat, there is hope for improvement. Gruhn is optimistic that the young talents will develop and past mistakes will eradicate. "Every player has potential that we can use. A victory will help us to gain confidence and to achieve more stable team success," added Gruhn.
The Rasta Vechta II not only has to struggle with the fluctuation of player positions, but also with injuries that affect the Starting Five. Roy Krupnikas could not compete on Saturday due to an illness, while Linus reply to injury. These are all challenges that the team has to overcome in order to establish themselves in the league in the long term.
The next game is already at the corner and will show how well the team can learn from the experiences they have made. It is important for young players to grow in their roles and develop further in order to be able to survive in the long term in higher competition. The young team of Rasta Vechta has the talent, the potential and above all the support of the fans to further assert and improve on the square.
