Editor’s notes: Some familiar names on this squad, including a number of players from Mexicali’s AAU runner-up team of 2004: Gabriel Marquez, Panfilo Valdez, Raymundo Parra (So Cal Bombers) and Jose Aguila, to name a few. Mexicali finished second that year, to Los Socios, Venezuela, and third in 2005, being eliminated, ironically, in a title game rematch in the semis with Los Socios, Venezuela.
Tijuana, Mexico is located just south of San Diego, across the USA/Mexico border. The San Diego red trolley runs all the way from the downtown area (near the Padres Petco Park), through Chula Vista (home of Team USA’s Olympic training facility), and drops you off right near the border crossing.
Seven rosters received and posted so far, with 25 to go.
