Nacional Potosi complete unbeaten run to claim third straight Libobasquet U-25 crown

Nacional Potosi made it three in a row at the Libobasquet U-25 on Sunday, dominating city rivals Pichincha de Potosi 81-64 in a packed coliseum to clinch their third consecutive youth championship without dropping a game in the tournament.
Coach David Pardo's squad were convincing throughout the weekend event. They cruised past Universitario de Sucre 96-67 in Saturday's semifinal before dispatching Pichincha in a one-sided final that was never in doubt. The hosts were clearly the class of the field, with a deep and talented roster that overwhelmed each opponent with superior depth and collective quality.
The all-Potosi final drew a capacity crowd to the host venue, but it was Nacional who demonstrated the greater poise and firepower on the bigger stage. The 17-point winning margin flattered Pichincha, who trailed by even more for long stretches of the contest.
The championship roster featuring the likes of Alan Castro (2002), Mateo Ortiz (199-G/F-2000), Jose Rodriguez, Miguel Gil, Paul Suarez), and Carlos Gonzales (2002) among others now forms a formidable nucleus that Nacional will look to carry into the senior Libobasquet 2026 season. The pipeline from U-25 champion to top-flight contender has been Nacional's model for sustained success, and a third consecutive youth title suggests the pipeline is flowing stronger than ever.
