Negros Occidental will banner 29 squads for the Western Visayas delegation in the 2006 Palarong Pambansa from May 7 to 13 at the Metro Naga Sports Complex in Naga City, Bicol.
The Negros will have 13 teams representing Region VI in the elementary division, while 16 squads from Negros will don the colors of Western Visayas in the secondary competitions.
A number of
athletes from Iloilo, Capiz, Aklan, Guimaras and Antique have been tapped to strengthen
the Negros squads' bid in the national meet, Nanette Roa of the Department of
Education said. 
| MVBA Cebu Landmaster-Toledo firmed up its hold of the second spot in the Visayas Division after hacking out an 84-75 victory over the visiting West Negros College Mustangs in the ML Kwarta Padala Mindanao Visayas Basketball Association First Conference Sunday night at the Marcelo A. Barba Sports Complex in Toledo City. The Mustangs got off to a hot start and enjoyed a 31-28 edge off an 11-2 run with halfway mark in the second period, but the Landmasters staged a daring comeback to rip the game apart with a 15-point lead at 73-58 cushion late in the third canto. The Mustangs kept within striking distance in the closing minutes
of the game, but the Landmasters rode on a solid endgame finish to seal the doom
of the reigning National Students champion. |
