Boy Basketballers Win Opening Game, By a Hair!

But there's no controversy surrounding a neat win by Belize's male under 16 basketball team in the opening game of the Centro Basket Tournament in Mexico City.

Belize played the opening game against Costa Rica - and squeaked by winning 71 to 70.

Brian White dominated with 23 points and ten rebounds for Belize.

Belize faces Puerto Rico tomorrow which is expected to be a much tougher game.

Six teams are in the tournament, and the top two finishers qualify for the FIBA Americas U16 Men's Championship in Cancun next week.
