Basketball team is traveling tomorrow and they are
Ready to win


The ABSH basketball tournament starts this Thursday and the Escuela Internacional Sampedrana (E.I.S.) teams are traveling tomorrow to the tournament that takes place in Tegucigalpa. The teams are playing for the first place in bilingual schools in Honduras.

The categories in which the participating teams are: the freshmen, which are people form ages the youngest age in secondary to 14, junior varsity team, ages 15-16 and the varsity team from ages 17 to the oldest age in secondary.

Both male and female categories are going to play.

The rivals of the E.I.S. will be announced at the tournament said sports coordinator Juan Santamaria.

The school teams participating are from Tegucigalpa, San Pedro Sula and la Ceiba. The other places don not participate because they are not part of the ABSH association.

“The hardest team we are playing against is The American School of Tegucigalpa, especially in the varsity category” says junior varsity player Maria Duron

“We hope to bring first place for all the categories” says Asthor Rubio varsity trainer, and adds that “we have great players in each team that will give us the victory.”

“We are training hard in order to get the trophy because that way we could give some trophies for the E.I.S. this year” says Kevin Romero three-point shooter of the varsity team.

“There haven’t been many first places in soccer or volleyball this year” comments Romero and adds that “we may have lost the AASCA (American Association of Schools on Central America) tournament, but we wont loose this one because the participants are less hard.”

“The freshmen teams have a great motivation and are ready to give everything they can in the game” says freshmen coach Marisol
