Thrills in Wedel: RASTA Vechta II fights, narrowly loses 72:76!
The starting signal for the 6th matchday of the BARMER 2nd Basketball Bundesliga ProB-Nord was given in the Steinberghalle in Wedel on November 3rd, 2025, when RASTA Vechta II played against SC Rist Wedel. Almost 500 spectators were there as the two teams fought an exciting duel, which unfortunately ended 72:76 for the hosts. Head coach Harm-Ubbo Horst's team fought bravely, but was unable to completely erase the deficit, which grew to 13 points in the third quarter.
Particularly noteworthy was the debut of Joel Lungelu, who was on the court as a new player for RASTA II and immediately caught the eye with 11 points and 5 rebounds. Moritz Grüß, Fynn Lastring and Ivan Volf were also able to put themselves in the spotlight with double-digit points. Despite a strong comeback in the last quarter, in which RASTA II came within one point (72:73), it was not enough to equalize and therefore not for a possible victory.
The course of the game
The evening started evenly, with many lead changes in the first quarter. In the second quarter, however, RASTA II had great difficulties and only scored their first point after three minutes. In the third period, the hosts took control and took advantage of RASTA II's many ball losses, which resulted in a total of 16. In the fourth quarter, however, the guests showed fighting spirit again, but failed at the last hurdle.
Key statistics and outlook
The game's statistics reflect the challenges of RASTA II:
- Offensiv-Rebounds: RASTA II 16, Wedel 18
- Dreipunktequote: RASTA II 19%, Wedel 22%
- Ballverluste: RASTA II 16, Wedel 9
After the game, head coach Harm-Ubbo Horst was concerned about his team's defensive problems, especially in one-on-one play. His colleague Hamed Attarbashi from Wedel, on the other hand, pointed out his team's weak free throw rate, but mentioned the return of Tomas Bjarkason as a positive factor.
Things will continue soon for RASTA II: The next game is against EN BASKETS Schwelm on November 8th, 2025, followed by a home game on November 12th against Baskets Juniors TSG Westerstede. It remains exciting to see whether the young team led by Horst can turn things around in the coming period.

Basketball is becoming a popular sport in the region, while all eyes are on next season's favorites. There are already rumors that various teams, including Taylor County, want to establish themselves in the top region of the table next season. Some player moves and coaching changes could significantly impact the league, as bluegrasspreps.com analyzes.
