This weekend the Belize Basketball Federation is set to host a two-day basketball tournament in Orange Walk. 8 teams, including 1 from each district, will compete against each other to find out who is the best of the best among the elite ballers of the country.
Today, President of the BBF stopped by 7News to tell us why you should view it as previews of coming attractions:
Paul Thompson
"The Belize Basketball Federation will be hosting a basketball tournament in Orange Walk Town this Saturday and Sunday. This tournament is for elite players and 8 teams will be participating. Teams from each district as well as San Pedro and Belmopan."
"This tournament is being sponsored by the Area Representative for Orange Walk North and by BTL. This tournament is a preview to the elite league that the Belize Basketball Federation is planning for next year. The best players from each district will be in Orange Walk this weekend vying for champion of this tournament."
"This is a test to see where each district stands. It's a test for us to see how we coordinate this type of a competition which should be home and away games when it starts. The best of the best will be here, so if you are a basketball fan across the country, you have an opportunity to see good games and the best games possible over this weekend."
It starts at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon at the Orange Walk Sports Complex, where there will be 4 games. The semifinals then start at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday. The winners get bragging rights as the National Elite Champions.
