The cadets fulfilled the role of the favorite. They beat Frýdek twice and are looking forward to Brno | BK OPAVA

“We have a double match with Frýdek-Místek. We went into the match as big favourites, our goal was two victories so that we still had a chance to avoid the play-off.” Opava coach David Zach started talking regarding the double match. “Our best scorer Franta Harazin didn’t play in Saturday’s game because he had health problems. In addition, we wanted him to rest because he has played a lot recently. We wanted to give space to the younger guys as well, to see what the lineup will look like for the upcoming season.” revealed the coach of BK Opava.

“We decided the game in the first quarter when we presented ourselves, either with a quick counterattack or a good rebound. We clearly outplayed our opponents and increased our lead. We are happy that all twelve players jumped into the game,” David Zach was satisfied.

Vašek Warisch also did not jump into the second duel alongside Franta Harazin. “Even on Sunday, we used younger guys in the game. We entered the game the same way we did on Saturday, well supported by offensive rebounding and good attentive play. After a while we were leading 10:1. However, following the shift, our strength and our attention were shown. The home team took a breather and suddenly at the end of the first quarter the lead was 19:15 for Frýdek. pointed out David Zach.

“Obviously, with a raised finger, the boys started to work at 110 percent. We didn’t score well at all, so it was an even battle, when we went back to the lead by ten points at half-time, but it was quite nervous in the second half. The game was more or less even. We defended the victory,” said David Zach regarding the second match, who added in the end: “A big positive of the weekend was the involvement of the younger players, for whom it was a great experience. Even though we didn’t win Sunday’s game by a big margin, it was all the more challenging. It was a good experience, good preparation for training and for the next job. We have to mobilize for the match in Brno. He is central to us.”
