Final

Lithuania vs. Czech Republic



Impressive performances by our youth. U-20 and U-18 won silver now U-16 play in the final and should win gold. We have many talents.



An interesting fact. A son of a basketball legend Arvydas Sabonis is playing for U-16. Tautvydas Sabonis is averaging 3.3 points per game.
Marko Ramljak, remember that name! born 1993. 195, still groving, and playing all 5 positons. finished with 9pts, and 8.8rbs 13/17 for 2 and 11/24 for 3. For kid year younger that is inpresive because in that age one year means a lot
Lithuania 75:33 Czech Republic (29:2, 20:10, 14:7, 12:14)



Congratulations to the guys. Men's team ended without medals but all youth teams reached the final and eventually U-16 won it.
So sounds like Lithuania has a bright future.
