Happy 20th Birthday, Leuven Bears!

Brev’s making a cameo on the blog, to discuss all things basketball:

Today the Leuven Bears celebrate the 20th anniversary of the club’s founding. In 2003 two basketball clubs, Vastiau-Godeau Leuven and INS Basket Wilsele, joined to create the Leuven Bears. Today the program has over 450 players and more than 40 teams, this includes youth teams and lower division adult teams. The Bears even have a wheelchair team called the Bears on Wheels.

Today also marks the close of the cross-border portion of the BNXT season. We have been competing in the Elite Silver division of the league, after we failed to qualify in the top five to make Elite Gold.

Starting next week, we will be playing in the Belgian Domestic Playoffs as the sixth seed against the third seed (Mechelen) in a best of three series. If we win, we will move on to play in a best of five series for the semis. Following that, would be another best of five series for the Belgian Championship.

We will also be playing in the BNXT playoffs in May. These playoffs are a best of two, home and away, based on points.

I’m looking forward to getting the post-season started!
