Asian College Dumaguete, Cebu City Win U18 3X3 Titles

-

There’s a new Boys Under 18 3X3 champion for Central Visayas and they’re from Dumaguete. Asian College proved that being a rookie team in the tournament wasn’t a concern as they toppled Minglanilla B, 21-14, to bag the championship of the SBP Under 18 3X3 Pambansang Tatluhan Regional Finals held over the weekend at the Sisters of Mary School-Boystown in Minglanilla, Cebu. Meanwhile, Cebu City held on to its dominance in the girls division after nipping Carmen A, 14-13 for the championship.

Asia College dominated Minglanilla B in an abbreviated championships game that ended with 2:10 left in the game after reaching 21 points first. They led from start to end and were never threatened. Justine Jay Ragay 9 led Asian College with nine points while Joshua Genesis Vincoy added eight. Ian Kyle Pardillo led Minglanilla B with eight. In the game for third place, defending champion SMS-Boystown A defeated FPA-Dumaguete, 15-10. Asian College went undefeated throughout the tournament, sweeping group play (3-0), defeating Naga in the Round of 16, 12-6; Carmen-B in the quarterfinals, 19-15; and FPA Dumaguete, 12-9, in the semifinals.

In the girls division, Team Cebu City nipped Carmen A on a strong drive down the right side by Maih Earl Archival with five seconds left to break a 13-all tie and give Cebu City the championship. Carmen A had taken the initiative and led through most of the game until Archival tied the game at 12-all. Down 12-13, Carmen A’s Shan Andrea Sheñagan tied the game at 13-all after splitting two free throws, ten seconds left, setting up the play for the winning basket of Archival. Archival led Cebu City with nine points, including two two-pointers. Compre A won the game for third place after topping Dumaguete JNHS-Dumaguete, 15-10. Cebu City also went undefeated all tournament long, sweeping its group at 5-0 before eliminating Minglanilla B, 11-7, in the quarterfinals, and overcoming Compre-A, 18-17, in the semifinals.

Both champion teams won P10,000 and all-expense paid trips to the national finals October 29-30 at the Robinson’s Magnolia. The Central Visayas Regional Finals drew 34 teams in the boys division and 18 teams in the girls division.

Milo BEST: All Basics The Basketball Efficiency Scientific Training (BEST) Center has been around for 31 years, and it has been at the forefront of doing the most basic of basketball teaching: sticking to the basics. This is the primary content of the Milo-sponsored BEST Center basketball clinics that have become an institution in Philippine basketball. “We teach the fundamentals, lahat ng klaseng fundamentals ng basketball — that’s our philosophy, dahil sabi nila, basketball is just a series of fundamentals,” said Nic, who was inspired to bring the concept of basketball clinics to the Philippines 31 years ago when budding players at that time had no formal training in the sport. The BEST Center program is divided into four levels. Level 1 focuses on dribbling and ballhandling fundamentals. Level 2 is focused on the basics of shooting. Level 3 is on Individual Defense while Level 4 is on Individual Offense. Every student who enrolls in the BEST Center starts with Level 1 and moves up ...

Other Side of Summer Sports

Bleacher Talk April 5, 2009 Other Side of Summer Sports We all know how the summer is always filled with sports clinics all over the place. The primary goal of parents in sending their kids to sports clinics is to find something productive for them to do over the summer break. Sports thus becomes a break form the tough ten-month school-year that children go through every year. We wrote about this two weeks back and encouraged parents to make sure that their children’s summer is filled with sports activities. But there’s another side to summer sports activities, especially for those who are already very much into sports. A typical summer for a student-athlete is to continue training in his sport. For some, they call it off-season training. For others, it’s the time to prepare for the upcoming schoolyear. So instead of taking a break from what they do during the schoolyear, they’re actually doing exactly the same thing that they’ve been doing for ten months. Isn’t this “boring?” Don’t yo...
