But earlier today at the World Under 18, 3 on 3 basketball Championships in Seville, Spain that massive disparity in size didn't matter - what mattered was heart, toughness and skill, and Belize had more of it.

And that's why tonight - we can proudly report - that, for the first time ever in anything - Belize has beaten China - the most populous country on earth.

The game ended with a very close score of Belize 15, China 14. In the opening game, Belize's boys lost to New Zealand 21 - 10, and then beat Poland 21 - 14. That was considered an upset, but the real upset came in the third game when Belize beat China 15 - 14. In the final game of the day, our team was competitive against the undefeated Canada, ultimately losing 18 to 14, thus finishing the day 2 and 2.

Tomorrow, the team of Brian White, Brandon Flowers, Tree-vanne Moses, Akeem Watters plays Netherlands, France and Slovakia. A press release about the event on FIBA's website quotes only one player and that's Belize's Brian White. He says, quote, "It's the first time a Central American team is in this tournament. It's great to know that we came from Belize, a small country and beat teams like Poland and China." End quote.

Belize is currently the fourth seed in its group - and only the top three seeds will need to advance. Depending on the outcome of the games tomorrow, they can still move up, but we'll have to see how play progresses tomorrow.
