Regular Season Round 56: Koshigaya A. - Yamagata 61-55

Date: April 16, 2023
Not a big story in a game in Tokyo where 6th ranked Yamagata (25-33) was defeated by second ranked Koshigaya A. (44-14) 61-55 on Sunday. However just six-point win is not that big difference and the fans of host team counted on more convincing victory. The best player for the winners was American center Isaac Butts (208-1989, college: App State) who had a double-double by scoring 13 points and 12 rebounds. The former international swingman Shohei Kikuchi (191-1984) chipped in 6 points and 11 rebounds. American center Thomas Welsh (213-1996, college: UCLA, agency: Pensack Sports) produced a double-double by scoring 20 points and 10 rebounds and point guard Takanori Tahara (181-1994) added 7 points and 8 rebounds respectively for the guests. Both coaches tested many bench players and allowed the starting five to rest. Koshigaya A. maintains second position with 44-14 record having just one point less than leader Chiba. Loser Yamagata keeps the sixth place with 33 games lost. Koshigaya A. will meet league's leader Chiba on the road in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Yamagata will play against Aomori W. (#5) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
