Belize faces mighty Puerto Rico in basketball

As I speak, Belize’s National Basketball Team is sweating hard against highly rated Puerto Rico in the final four of the Central American and Caribbean Games in El Salvador. That match-up will be followed by the Dominican Republic versus Guatemala. Friday night the winners square off for the gold and silver, while the losers fight for the bronze. Belize and Guatemala look like the underdogs tonight, and if they wind up facing each other for a medal, then tomorrow’s rumble could be a hot one in San Salvador. Scouting reports indicate that the big man for the successful Guatemalan squad is Thomas Gillespie. Viewers may recall Gillespie from his exploits for the Raiders in the Belize Semi-pro League.
