After a three-way tie at the top, the Buenos Aires side kept the title and qualified for the next stage due to goal difference. Entre Ríos was second and FeBAMBA, who already had his ticket, was third.
Exciting outcome of the home run of Region 3 of the Men’s U15 Argentine Federation Championship, which took place this weekend in Bahía Blanca. After three dates in a round-robin format, there was a three-way tie between FeBAMBA, Entre Ríos and the Buenos Aires team, all leaders with a 2-1 record. Due to goal difference, the classification and the title remained for the people from Buenos Aires, who after losing on Saturday, won the two games on Sunday. With a joint organization between CAB and the Bahiense Basketball Association, the action was played entirely at the luxurious Dow Center, world-class facilities that have received the Argentine Senior Teams in multiple preparations for international commitments.
The action this Sunday began with two games in the morning shift. First, Entre Ríos beat the Santa Fe team 99-77 and extended their unbeaten record. But the surprise came later, since FeBAMBA, who had won in their debut, fell to the Buenos Aires team by a wide 96-55, a difference that would end up being key in the subsequent tiebreaker. Rincón and Amán combined for 46 points in the winners, while Celiz contributed 14 for those from Capital Federal.
The contest closed with the two matches of the late shift. First, the Buenos Aires team beat the Santa Fe team, which withdrew from Bahía Blanca without victories, 78-55 with 16 points from Amman, and left the stage open for the last game. Entre Ríos needed to win to be crowned undefeated champion of the contest and ensure their qualification to the next stage, but in a great game, they fell 70-66 against a great FeBAMBA who shared their goalscoring and had seven players above seven points.
With these results, the Buenos Aires team won the tournament due to goal difference in a three-way tie. In addition, it obtained the classification to the next instance where La Pampa is already located, classified by Region 4, plus Mendoza and FeBAMBA, which were already classified in advance for having more than 12,000 players registered in the SiReDi system.
The action of the Argentino de Federaciones U15 masculine will continue next weekend with the last three regional home runs. Salta will organize that of Region 1, also made up of Jujuy, Tucumán and Santiago del Estero. Tierra del Fuego will host Region 5 that makes up Chubut, Río Negro and Santa Cruz. Chaco, for its part, will receive the one from Region 6 where it will face Corrientes, Misiones and Formosa.
