Galil Elyon Edges Netanya in the Club’s Final Top-League Game
Elitzur Netanya closed its brief return to the Israeli Premier League with an 84-89 loss to Hapoel Galil Elyon on Monday night in Kfar Blum. The defeat came after Netanya had already been relegated in its previous game, making this its final appearance in the top flight, at least for this season.
Despite the loss, Jhavonte McCoy led Netanya with 28 points. Amir Gershon and Efi Timkin added 14 points each, and Maksim Filonenko grabbed 16 rebounds. Netanya’s scoring was otherwise limited, with only those three joining McCoy in double figures.
Galil Elyon was led by Cyril Langevine, who scored 22 points, while Josh Hawley added 16 off the bench. The article also noted an injury to Roee Prizki, who finished with 5 points in 9 minutes before hitting his head on the court after a fast-break dunk attempt.
Netanya will drop to the National League after a season that ended with 23 losses and only 9 wins. The club will now aim to earn promotion back to the top division next year.
