The Mexican-American Basketball Association just finished their 2022 season. This season was very special since they did not play for almost 2 years because of the pandemic.
The league has been active since 1968 with teams from both Iowa and Illinois.
Damon Bautista, the league commissioner, is very grateful that they were able to finish the 2022 season strong.
“First and foremost I’d like to thank the players for committing to this season. We had to stop the league in 2020 and didn’t have a season in 2021 both due to COVID-19. With the conclusion of this season I would say that our league is back stronger than ever. The competition is as good as it’s ever been and I’m proud to be a part of this historic league.” He said in a statement to Hola America.
The team -El Mago- were the regular season and tournament champions with a record of 11-0. The tournament MVP was Taelor Lopez.
Congratulations to all the teams, players, organizers and the fans for a great season.
