Our HS basketball teams went to Chile for the annual Southern Cone Athletic Conference (SCAC) basketball tournament. This year’s host was Nido de Aguilas, in Santiago. Other schools participating were Escuelas Lincoln (Buenos Aires), FDR (Lima) and Escola Americano (Quito).
Our boys were the tournament champions, with a 6-0 record. Additionally, Jamison Peterson, Michel Bacque, Natalie Hamilton and Gabriela Braga were recognized by the coaches as deserving of the Sportsmanship Award. Congratulations to all our athletes, their coach, Jeff Granger, and our Athletic Director, Sara Kaste, for being such fine ambassadors for UAS.
Next year, we will host the SCAC Basketball tournament in April 2009. It will require a total school effort to house the 80 players and 25 coaches that make the trip. We’ll be contacting you !!
