Frayles
de Guasave crowned 2006 CIBACOPA Champions Cananea,
Sonora - In a heated contest played in the home of the
Mineros de
Cananea, the 1500 fans in attendence would play a major role on the outcome
of this game but not the way you would assume for their home team Mineros. The
lead changed hands several times until, after the 2nd and 3rd quarters, Guasave
began to slowly add to their lead. With the score at 75-69 in favor of the
Frayles a call went against the Mineros and it was all the crowd could bear.
People from the crowd were up in their seats, littering the court, many began to
make their way onto the court itself as play was stopped to regain order. The
attendence was all the facility could bear with a calm crowd and things were
geting heated. A wonderful season for the likes of
