Back in Brittany, and in Ille-et-Vilaine, for the protégés of Moatassim Rhennam who face, tonight, an Aurore Vitré, knocking on the door of the Top 5.
Chartrains and Vitréens have alternated between hot and cold for the past month. After two defeats in a row for the first and three for the second, Euréliens and Bretons have rekindled the boiler, and remain on two successes.
If Chartres seems well established in the Top 5, behind, four formations, including Vitré, are pushing to enter. Left out last year (6th), the Ille-et-Vilaine team, left eighth by the future finalist Mulhouse, hopes to appear in the top five at the end of the first phase, as in the course of the 2020-2021 financial year, where Aurore finished 4th in a season still marked by the pandemic and which ended without a play-off. For her fifth season in N1 (after a stint between 2015 and 2017), Aurore has settled in well in the division and continues to progress each year.
Hugo Béquignon, a Dunois in Vitré
Hugo Bequignon, originally from Saint-Denis-les Ponts, left ADA Blois this summer to join Brittany.
On the glassy bench, an attacking midfielder succeeded another leader, with Fabien Calvez (38) replacing Julien Cortey, who left for promoted ProB, La Rochelle. Despite this change, nothing has changed at Aurore, which has maintained its defensive DNA (68.9 points allowed in 2021-2022). If the team has kept its grognards, which have exceeded thirty, such as leader Prolhac (31 years), top scorer (13.5 points) and player (16.5 rating) of the club, or even 4 positions Fandelet and Pothion, Calvez went in search of youth, especially with the young Hugo Béquignon.
When Hugo Béquignon discovered ProB with Blois
A native of Saint-Denis-les-Ponts, position 3 was baptized with an orange ball, as he told us, in 2021, when he was taking his first steps in the professional world, alongside ADA Blois (ProB), who left this summer.
“Basketball is a family affair. Everyone plays or has played: my parents, my aunt, my little sister, my older brother… When my mother played, I accompanied her on trips. I immersed myself very quickly in this environment and that’s how I started this sport at the age of 2, in Saint-Denis-les-Ponts… m) he will have had an exceptional year, with a double title of French champion , ProB and with the Espoirs.
