Many were the players who knew how, before, to cross the border to defend the colors of one of the quintets of the Magellanic capital. To mention a few, Daniel Miranda, Andrés Greco, Fernando Gutman, César Gómez and Facundo Zárate. The center from the Carboniferous Basin had been one of the last to cross to play. With the pandemic, this sports traffic ended. Among other things, because they were years in which it was not played either. The First Men’s tournament recovered its normality only this year. It was then that once again those from there set their eyes on those from here.

The Hispano Americano perimeter played as a guest, according to the basketball rules of the neighboring country. He did it for Español de Punta Arenas, a club with which Celeste has a close relationship.
Koch was champion, first, of the Closing Tournament. In the cup that became known as Aguas Magallanes, the Galician had a very good regular phase and Koch too. El Rojo won seven of the eight games he played. He only lost one of the two matches against Cordenap. They were leader and escort and they met again in the final.

Against the Croatian, Spanish was also perfect. They prevailed by 83 to 61 and by 72 to 69. The Red was the great champion of the year. Koch, his standard bearer.
