Last week, the American School - Tegucigalpa (AST) hosted a basketball tournament for the Association of Bilingual Schools of Honduras (ABSH). Schools from all over the country came to play and cheer on their players. The champions for the girls’ “juvenil” game was AST’s very own Eagles while the boys’ winning team was from the Escuela Santa María del Valle. 

During the basketball tournament, students and faculty members worked together to broadcast some of the games live on YouTube.

AST’s student council (STUCO), the newspaper club, and other students volunteered to run video with Honduran television corporation Televicentro.

Much of the broadcast was student-run, and students enjoyed learning about journalism, videography, and audio. Student narrators also provided play-by-plays during the broadcasted games.
