Regular Season Round 55: Ehime OV - Fukushima 89-90

Date: April 11, 2026
Third-ranked Orange Vikings (35-20) gave a tough game to second ranked Firebonds (40-15) in Matsuyama on Saturday. The visitors from Fukushima managed to secure only one-point victory 90-89. However their fans expected easier game. It was a great evening for American swingman Kenny Manigault (195-1991, college: Pikeville) who led his team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 16 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists. Egyptian-American center Patrick Gardner (211-1999, college: Marist) helped adding 23 points and 9 rebounds. Four Firebonds players scored in double figures. Firebonds' coach Ryan Marchand used entire bench in such tough game. At the losing side American center Mitchell Watt (208-1989, college: Buffalo, agency: Octagon Europe) responded with a double-double by scoring 24 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists and the other American import Shaquille Hines (201-1993, college: UTRGV) scored 24 points. Fukushima maintains second place with 40-15 record having just two points less than leader Kobe S. which they share with defeated Ehime. Ehime lost fourth consecutive game. They dropped to the second position with 20 games lost. They share it with Kumamoto V.. Fukushima will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Ehime will play at home against the league's second-placed Fukushima and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
