An intense day for the different teams that fought for a place in the final in the morning and saw IED Barranquilla Codeba crowned as the new champion in the afternoon, after defeat (47-32) the Normal Superior La Hacienda.
The educational staff led by the experienced coach Marco Tulio Altamar, who could not be present at the fair, handed over the keys to a talented generation to come to his assistant Juan Carlos De la Hoz to obtain the highest award after 35 years.
A fast and effective quintet that set up the party at the Elias Chegwin with several of their classmates and teachers who came to the coliseum to witness the exciting match. On the other side, another traditional institute such as the Normal Superior La Hacienda that closed another good campaign in the district woodworks.
The beginning was frantic. A first time of give and take that had as the main privileged those of Codeba. Christopher García was in charge of putting on an offensive show against the rival defense. The talented forward, who finished as the star of the match (18 points), prevailed in the presence of Ezequiel Cadena who led La Hace, but ran out of steam for the second half
With everything in his favor, he only gave the ball to Josué Balmaceda (8 points) to sentence the charges and celebrate euphorically with all his teammates.
