“Insude supported us with 50% of the lodging, but we have not received anything from the municipality of La Paz. The corresponding management was made, we spoke directly with the municipal sports director (Guillermo Ortalejo), who told me, -send me the information to pay for your accommodation-, he was sent all the information, quote and well, there was never an answer, no I have received a no, I have not received a yes and not a maybe, so it has been complicated. Each boy worked to pay for his plane ticket, the registration was $8,000 pesos and we paid it with the basketball band “they mentioned.
On Sunday, August 21, the team was one step away from accessing the semifinals, but fell against Tlaxcala due to point differences and it was the state of Coahuila who went on to the next roundDespite this and the adversities they encountered, Raciel’s team will not give up on their dreams and will continue to seek to represent the entity in future projects.
