Brown vs. Huracán: 15 Years On - A Final Revisited

Local Hoops History

Get ready for a showdown! Starting July 4th, Brown and Hurricane will battle it out in a best-of-five series for the Nahuel Monzani Tournament championship, honoring a local legend. This isn’t just another final; it’s a rematch 15 years in the making. The last time these two teams faced off for the title was in 2010 – a drought that’s about to end!

Back in 2010, the tournament was named after raúl Silveira, another icon, especially for Hurricane. Brown entered as an underdog, finishing third in the regular season. They cruised past Independiente in the first round,but then faced a tough Deportivo Madryn team in the semifinals,led by coach Juan Manuel Iglesias and bolstered by the return of Maximiliano Riolfo. Think of it like a Cinderella story facing a seasoned veteran – anything could happen.

The semifinal series was a rollercoaster. Brown narrowly won the first game 69-68 at home. But the second game was pure chaos. With two minutes left, a player, Diego Conti, punched the referee, Gabriel Velazco, ending the game prematurely. Brown advanced in the most unexpected way possible. It was like the “Malice at the Palace” but on a smaller,local scale – a moment no one would forget.

Meanwhile, Hurricane was on a mission. They swept Racing and then took down Germinal, the top seed. No one expected hurricane to win, but coach Gustavo Álvarez’s squad stepped up, winning by 20 at home and by one on the road.Germinal had a roster full of recognizable names,but it wasn’t enough. It was a classic David vs. Goliath story, with Hurricane playing the role of the underdog who wouldn’t back down.

The final series was short and sweet. Hurricane won the first game 71-65 at home. Then, in front of a packed house at brown’s gym, they sealed the deal with an 82-72 victory.Cue the celebrations, the tears, and the red and white jerseys waving in the air. It was a championship moment that players and fans would cherish forever.

Alejandro Ivetich was the star of that Hurricane team, dominating every game. He was supported by a cast of players who became local legends.brown had Patricio de Negri coaching and a roster that included Gonzalo García, faes, Veira, manitta, Iturria, Teruggi, Luis Paz, and a young Mariano González, who is still with the team today, bridging the gap between generations. He’s like the Tom Brady of local basketball,still going strong after all these years.

Players have come and gone, coaches have changed, and the kids who watched from the stands have grown up. But one thing remains the same: the importance of a final with history. And fifteen years later, that history continues…
