Surrounded by the players and coaches of all the teams, leaders, Juan Jose Bruno by the Administration and the public in the stands, the Durazno Basketball League paid tribute this Friday-November 19- a tribute to the trajectory and contribution to this sport , to Prof. Mauricio Aguirre Morales. He gave him a plaque and named the championship with his name, which has the support of the Durazno Departmental Administration.
Fair and emotional. This is how we can summarize the recognition of the qualified teacher, who – after the opening words of former player Marcelo “Chelo” Cortazzo – thanked and recalled past times of the basketball “school”, sublime moments of this sport, people and institutions of local basketball.
Aguirre urged to maintain the strength of the unit in Durancan basketball and highlighted the campaign carried out at the time by the women’s branch and the emergence of players who later represented the department in the country and abroad.
The initiative closed with applause at the “Ernesto de León” stadium, a place of unforgettable moments for the youth and senior teams in national tournaments.
