WV
Prisaa contingent The board members and coaches of the Western Visayas Private Schools and Athletics Association will meet in Iloilo City tomorrow to finalize the Region VI delegation that will vie for the overall title of the National PRISAA Games in Lingayen, Pangasinan from Feb. 6 to 11. The meeting will confirm the roster of athletes that will represent
Western Visayas in the national event as some members of the contingent
might back out because of conflict in schedule, Roger Banzuela,
athletic manager of the WV PRISAA, said. The University of St. La
Salle standouts, who are set to banner five out of the nine Negros
teams representing Region VI, might withdraw from the hostilities
because the games will coincide with their examination week, Banzuela,
who is also the USLS sports director, said. |

NBA tourney moved to February The staging of the Negros Basketball Association-Mayor's Cup at the Po Hang Gym of Bacolod Tay Tung High School has been moved to the third week of February instead of this month. NBA president Oscar "Dodong" Bascon said his association postponed the hosting of the tournament because the group has yet to meet with Mayor Evelio Leonardia to discuss the basketball event. Leonardia is currently in the United States for some official
business and to witness the rematch between Bacolod City's adopted
son Manny Pacquiao and Erik Morales. |
