CUERO — The United Cuero Coed 3‑on‑3 Basketball Tournament brought excitement, energy, and big rewards as Ethan Munoz, Elias Munoz, and Javi Perez walked away with major cash payouts for their performance and dependability on and off the court.
Hosted at the Cuero High School girls’ gymnasium, the tournament was created to bring local youth together for friendly competition, fellowship, and a positive summer activity. This year’s event marked a shift from last year’s outdoor setting, offering players and spectators the comfort of an air‑conditioned indoor venue.
Throughout the afternoon, teams battled in fast‑paced games that highlighted athleticism, teamwork, and sportsmanship. At the end of the tournament, Ethan and Elias Munoz, along with Javi Perez, were recognized with cash prizes, celebrating not only their success in competition but also their dependability, character, and commitment to showing up for their team.
Organizers emphasized that the cash awards were designed to reinforce the message that dependability builds character — and character brings opportunity. The recognition served as a reminder to all participants that showing up, working hard, and supporting one another are qualities that matter both on the court and in everyday life.
The tournament once again demonstrated United Cuero’s mission: creating safe, uplifting spaces where young people can stay active, connect with peers, and grow as leaders within the community.
