Yesterday it was Panama, today in semifinal play Team Belize won comfortably over Costa Rica by 24 points on the way to proving that games should be settled on the court. Final score: Belize - Costa Rica 99-75.
So whats next for our Dream Team? Team Mexico in the finals. Yesterday Mexico demolished Costa Rica by one score of a 101-66.
If you care to do some basketball analysis and do the math Mexico won by 35 points, while Belize won by only 24 points. What that means in the scheme of things as Belize draws one step closer to gold is anybodys guess. Reports out of Cancun earlier today suggested that COCABA officials were agitating that Costa Rica face Panama instead of Team Belize. Fortunately for Belize, Panama took a stand and COCABA officials were forced to continue with the tournament as scheduled. Reports are that if Belize defeats Mexico tomorrow or not, our medal standing will hinge on the pending appeal. If Belize wins the appeal, we are guaranteed a spot in next years Centro Basket Tournament on the way to the 2012 London Olympics. We encourage you to tune once again to Channel Fives Morning Show Open Your Eyes and News Five for continued coverage of the COCABA Championship for Men from Cancun.
