Three weeks ago one of my favorite sporting events began once again…March Madness. This weekend the final four teams will play to see who will reign as this year’s champion. In the spirit of the final four, here are the final four of the Finca’s community in La Ceiba.
Emerging from the bracket in the East, we have Team Maria Goretti, also known as the Fase II women’s team. This team is a true front runner based on the diversified skill sets of our front court stars Marina, Nolvia, and Nelly, the great stability found in our all star power forward Sor Keidy, and relative height advantage over most Hondurans of center Mary Kate.
Dominating the bracket in West we find Team San Esteban, or the Fase II men’s team. The competitive and athletic nature of Arturo and Carlos in combination with the height and court time experience of Nils will be a force to be reckoned with in the finals.
In its first final four appearance we have Team Satterlee taking the Midwest bracket. The team unity fostered by parents Scott and Janet, innovative ideas of kids Henry and Shea, and extensive scouting abilities due to high connectivity via multiple apple devices may grant them the advantage in a tight contest.
Lastly, taking the bracket in the South we have Team Fase III. This tried and trusted team of veterans, lead by the undeniable trio of Hector, Saul, and Juan, gained some fresh energy this year in the form of the ever tough Dalila. Their great experience and deep fan base will prove a serious threat to all teams they face.
The Scouting reports are in, and the predicted outcome remains divided. While a late season vacation by Nils would seems to grant an advantage to team Maria Goretti, as Mary Kate proved their interim head coach for the last week, it may simply provide them with fresh legs and Maria Goretti with a tired center. Meanwhile team Fase III’s geographic lack of unity may hurt them in less practice time, or may aid them in providing more balance in team dynamics. Team Satterlee also proves a crowd favorite as their adorable dog ginger always takes the fair weather fans.
In the end, I think Team Maria Goretti will take it all, but then again, I may be a bit biased. We are grateful for the presence of all four teams here in our La Ceiba community, and will be following the actual games as closely as we can. I personally will be recruiting as many as I can to help support the amazing women’s team from Notre Dame as they continue their quest for another national championship.
