Barefoot youth basketball team wins Mexico’s heart
The impoverished youths from an indigenous tribe went undefeated in Argentina.
By CHRIS CHASE –
A group of Mexican youths from the small population of indigenous Trique Indians are being hailed as heroes in their home country after going undefeated at a youth basketball competition in Argentina. Their heritage is only part of their story.
Because many of the boys can’t afford to buy sneakers, most of the players on the team play barefoot. That didn’t hold them back at the International Festival of Mini-Basketball, where the team went 6-0.
The AP reports the boys’ success earned a one minute ovation on the floor of the lower house of Mexico’s Congress.
Mini basketball is pretty much exactly what you’re thinking. The court is smaller, the free-throw line is closer to the backboard and the baskets are lowered.
