AASCA Basketball Recap & Results

Alana Barahona, Editor-In-Chief

The 2024 AASCA Basketball Atlantic Division tournament took place at the Eagles’ nest, here at the American School of Tegucigalpa, in October. The event was a huge success and a great opportunity for various clubs at AST to participate as well. Our student council (STUCO) worked hard to organize the event, while Eagle Chronicles members were able to narrate some of the games and take photos and videos, and leaders of the communications club updated AST News’ Instagram page to keep audiences updated during the event.

AASCA has two divisions, girls and boys competitors. A total of eight schools participated in this tough competition. They were:  

• CAG: Colegio Americano de Guatemala 

• CIG: Colegio Interamericano de Guatemala

• CDS: Country Day School Costa Rica

• LCR: Lincoln School Costa Rica

• VS: Village School Guatemala
