The Kosner Baskonia youth academy continues its successful run, with its junior team being crowned Euskadi champions yesterday after a dominant victory over Bilbao Basket in the final at Mendizorroza, demonstrating the strength of their 2008 generation.

This triumph confirms the excellent moment for Kosner Baskonia's youth system, with a promising new wave of young players emerging. The team from Vitoria started the game with authority, quickly establishing a significant 28-12 lead in the first quarter, which they then managed comfortably to secure a final score of 95-69, winning every quarter.
Stefan Joksimovic, the academy's brightest prospect already integrated into the first team's dynamics, led the local squad with 22 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 steals, achieving a valuation of 26. He was well supported by Mate Khatiashvili, who has also debuted under Galbiati's command and contributed 19 points and a valuation of 17.
Notably absent from the game was Juom Maker Bol, who was seen with a conspicuous knee brace during the trophy presentation, indicating an injury that has kept him out of recent first-team call-ups. This was, however, the only negative note in an event where the 2008 generation once again showcased immense future potential.
