The Steinm\u00fchlen team, coached for the first time by a 12th-grade student (Jonas Neirich), took the field with eight boys from grades 9\u201311. Hannes Bergmann, Pablo Mediavilla, Luka Hartmann, Anton Scheider, Fabian Seidel, Eren Pektas, Leo Tschentke, and Xaver Teres Loytved fought together for the win. <\/p>\n

After the Elisabethschule withdrew its team at the last minute, Steinm\u00fchle only had to face the Martin-Luther-Schule (MLS) and the Philippinum.<\/p>\n

In their first game against the MLS, the Steinm\u00fchlen team quickly took the lead and extended it to 10 points in the first half. Although the team had never played together in this lineup before, they dominated the second half as well and ultimately won the game by a wide margin, 38\u201318. <\/p>\n

It was now clear that the second game against Philippinum would be the championship game for the district title. Given their individual strength, the Steinm\u00fchlen team went into the match as slight favorites. In the first half, however, they failed to live up to that role. On the one hand, the opponent was probably slightly underestimated; on the other hand, it became apparent that the team wasn\u2019t yet playing as a unit and therefore hadn\u2019t developed any automatic plays. As a result, Steinm\u00fchle trailed 7\u201320 at the end of the first half, seemingly in a hopeless position. <\/p>\n

Now Coach Jonas Neirich was especially called upon. With a motivational speech, he managed to lift the players\u2019 spirits. Thanks to tactical adjustments, the players took a completely different approach to the game in the second half. They slowly closed the gap, point by point. With every basket scored, their shooting accuracy returned, allowing Anton Schneider to sink three crucial three-pointers. In the final minute, the team even managed to take a 22\u201321 lead. <\/p>\n

In the remaining seconds, however, the game came to a dramatic climax. With 10 seconds left, Philippinum took a 23\u201322 lead. That left only a few seconds to turn the game around. In the very last play, Hannes Bergmann took a chance, drove to the basket, and scored the much-celebrated 24\u201323 victory. With this win, the players secured their spot in the regional finals in December\u2014a result they were certainly happy about, but one they certainly deserved. <\/p>\n
