chosen to play basketball on scholarship in Tegus

So we tracked down Neil Roberts, who started an organization that helps youth in Honduras get scholarships for basketball. And we showed him videos of the Flowers Bay Boys.

And he was so impressed that he organized a training camp in June of 2013 so that other recruiters from both Honduras and the United States could come watch us play ball. So we took the journey….
And won EVERY game we played
We learned a lot of new drills
