Yesterday evening we lost away to Danube Delta in the first regular-season game of season 57. They put more enthusiasm and won 97-83.
So the season 56 is officially gone. For our club, it was the most successful season, an amazing one. We managed to break down many of our club records and to achieve for the first time the finals of the Cup Tournament and RBBA League. We lost only 11 games ( the last 4 of them against the last 2 seasons' champions ) and won 51 games!!!
Now, Reghin Bulls are part of BB Romania history and that makes us proud of ourselves! Through our RBBA victories, we are now the 17th in the standings of The most RBBA victories, after we jumped 4 positions! In the playoff game against Buricul Pamantului, our arena break down the record regarding the most RBBA playoff attendance ( 22527 viewers )!
Two backups ( Valentin Duta and Octavian Laza ) were the only players who played all 22 regular-season games. Artemon Ichim was the best scorer in regular-season games ( 16,3 points/game), but also for the entire season ( all matches outside scrimmages ). Outside Duta, the other 2 players don't have contracts with us anymore. Octavian Laza decided to retire as he is 37 years old now, and Ichim was sold because of his big salary for his age. We understand that he is back on the transfer list after just one game played by his new team!
