male teams competing will be Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico
and El Salvador. The female tournment will be played in the same days, and the
teams registered are Guatemala, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and El Salvador. Coach
Enrique
Samour made some surprising calls, adding to the El Salvador roster four
players based in USA,
Schacun
Malave (200-C-79, college:
New York Tech),
George
Medrano (180-G-88), Michael Meza (193-F-89) and Luis Turcios

the roster because they refused to attend the practice sessions scheduled by
coach Samour, who has now a younger and totally new team.
