“A category of more than 40 years that tells us about the love we have for basketball, and that the years go by and we feel the same desire to run on a court, and that regarding the name of the team ponchos 11 is a tribute to our dear friend Alfonso “Poncho” Herrera, who came our way. A hug my poncho to heaven “
This was the comment of José Luis Sánchez, coach of this team, which managed to attract the attention of many and, of course, of Poncho’s appreciable family, who attended all the matches where Ponchos 11 participated in this home run.
They are situations with great symbolism that remain forever in the hearts and minds of family members and fans of burst sports that are highly valued.
This was part of the friendship quadrangle that is worth highlighting and that cannot go unnoticed and there it is.
May “Ponchp” Herrera rest in peace, a symbol of the memory of what a traditional event like the one experienced in this basketball Master category can represent.
The important thing is not to win, but to compete… and remember.
