Teams battle for the championship title at tournament

Chandler Carroll

As Del Mar’s 3v3 basketball tournament continued last month, all teams struggled to have their entire team available to participate. Rather than not allow members who did show up the chance to play, Intramural Sports Director Carla Gamez-Vela instructed students to pick teams and play in games of full-court four on four instead of the half-court three on three from the first round of play. Students chose to have the first two players who made a three-pointer become team captains. Angelina Lopez made her first shot with ease while JJ Haywood stepped up shortly after Lopez and did the same…
