Champville heads to the Final 4

Monday 26th March 2007

Champville team hosted and took over Antranik in the third and decicive game during the Lebanese Championship Playoffs.
Quarters: 23 14 / 41 36 / 59 52 / 79 70
The game started cautiously as both teams played a defensive strategy that resulted with many turn overs from both sides until Champville managed to end the 1st quarter 23 14.Coach Ghassan Sarkiss continued with the same lineup all the way through the game keeping Devon Ford (Best Scorer 23 pts), Corey Louis, ELie Mchantaf (15 pts), David Der Yaghyayian(5 three points) and Mario Abboud (17 pts and 18 rebounds)
Despite his fouling out in the last quarter (79 70), when Mario was introduced in the starting lineup, the chants began: Marioooo, Mario who was the match turning point showing a good quality of a player.

Ghassan sarkiss: In the second game, Antranik annoyed us with the pick & Roll on Copperwood so we used Mario Abboud double team on pick and we managed to stop most of their key players such as Hosep (who couldn't score) and Vicken Eskedjian. Antranik had to use only one or two of their Players and couldn't lever with us. You can notice that we never had a leveled score and we were ahead all the way. The guys played well.
