Another trophy in the account! The Crias da Gávea won last Thursday (13) the fourth championship of the Under-19 State Championship. Playing against Fluminense, the Mais Querido won by a score of 62x49 and remained undefeated. In the first game of the finals, Flamengo had already beaten the team from Laranjeiras by 71x52.
Point guard Matheusinho was the game's top scorer with 21 points, and with his feats, he became the tournament's top scorer. This was the player's fourth individual title this year. Previously, at the CBC U-18 tournament, Matheus won the MVP, top scorer, and assists leader.
The basketball teams of Clube de Regatas do Flamengo receive funding from their sponsors – thinkseg, AmBev, Rede D'or, IRB Brasil RE, CSN, Brasil Plural, and EY – via the Federal Incentive Law/Ministry of Sports (IR) and the State Incentive Law/Rio de Janeiro State Secretariat of Sports, Recreation, and Youth (Seelje), in addition to support from the Brazilian Club Committee (CBC) resulting from the decentralization of resources generated by the Pelé Law. The Anjo da Guarda Rubro-Negro Project, a personal tax transfer, benefits all Olympic sports of the Most Beloved.
