Game 1 - USA 130 vs Mexico 31


Finally....it's game time! Team USA has practiced and practiced and practiced and NOW it's time to show what we have. The coaches and players each signed a document (U16 USA Basketball Championship Standards) before leaving the OTC in Colorado.   Number 15 is PRIDE - We are the best team in the world and we represent the best country.
