Yesterday started the 18th edition of the U-16 Ciutat de Terrassa tournament, in the city close to Barcelona. Some of the best spanish teams will compete till tomorrow Sunday for the title. Prospects like Modou Mbaye ('94), from Unelco Tenerife, and Albert Homs ('94), from DKV Joventut, are playing the U-18 spanish final round championship in Lanzarote, so they are not in Terrassa rosters, but there are other attractions. The most amazing performance of the opener was at the game between Real Madrid and Unelco Tenerife. Canary Islands team surprised once again taking another african kid. Cheikhouna Kane ('94) couldn't help his team to win (85-65), but collected a 69 valoration with 47 points (12/16 twos, 3/6 threes and 14/21 ft), 25 rebounds and 15 fouls drawn. No comment. We'll follow him.

 

The other results of the first day were Sferic Terrassa 42 FC Barcelona 88, DKV Joventut 62 Manresa 61 and Asefa Estudiantes 51 Unicaja Malaga 44. For FC Barcelona Alexandr Zighulin ('94), from Kazahkstan, nailed 17 points with 8/12 FG in only 13 minutes. With DKV Joventut is playing 2.24 Bienvenu Letuni ('94), from Congo.
