Regular Season Round 4: Shumen - Botev 74-89

Date: October 26, 2025
Everything could happen at the game between two tied teams. Both eighth ranked Botev and bottom-ranked Shumen had identical 0-2 record. But Shumen was not able to use a home court advantage and was defeated by the opponent from Vratsa 89-74 on Sunday night. Botev made 32-of-40 free shots (80.0 percent) during the game. Worth to mention a great performance of the former international guard Georgi Gerganov (192-2003) who helped to win the game recording 33 points (!!!), 9 rebounds and 7 assists and American center David Haughton (201-1991, college: Purchase) who added 11 points and 9 rebounds during the contest. At the losing side guard Kostadin Lazarov (193-2000, agency: BIG) responded with 20 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists and American guard Devearl Ramsey (180-1997, college: UCSB) scored 12 points and 7 rebounds. Five Botev and four Shumen players scored in double figures. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Newly promoted Botev maintains eighth position with 1-2 record. It was Shumen's third loss in a row. They still close the standings with three games lost. They share the position with Levski. Botev will meet bottom-ranked Akademik (#11) in the next round. Shumen will play against the league's leader Rilski having rather not much hope for a victory.
