FOR FIELDING OVER-AGED
PLAYER IN PROV'L MEET
BY CEDELF P. TUPAS
Still reeling from a controversy that stemmed from the fielding of an overaged player in the 2006 Regional Palaro, Negros Occidental school sports has been hit by another age-cheating incident, this time, in its own Provincial Athletic Meet.
The Department of Education has reportedly stripped Area V, represented by Pahilanga Elementary School from Hinigaran, of the boys' volleyball crown, after it was discovered to have paraded an ineligible player in the Provincial Meet held in Bacolod City in December.
The title has been awarded to losing finalist, Area III,
composed of Silay City players, a source privy to the details of the
case but is not authorized to speak to the media, said yesterday.

10
slots for Ten slots in the World Pool Championships are up for grabs in the 2007 Asian 9-Ball Tour, which fires off with the Jakarta leg from April 20 to 22. Matchroom Sports announced that it is retaining the ten slots to the WPC in the Guinness Asian Tour, refuting an early report that the WPC organizing team is reducing the number of berths to the prestigious pool tournament. The Guinness 9-Ball Tour is the only ranking tour in Asia for
players to qualify to the 128-man main draw of the WPC, which will
be held in November in Manila for the second consecutive year. |

Probac,
Lopue's Former St. La Salle varsity player Ryan Concha nailed two free throws with a second lift to lift Davies Paint-Probac to a thrilling 91-90 win over Val Motors Saturday night in the Tan Kek Pin Cup Memorial Basketball Tournament. Concha teamed up with veteran guard Demonteverde in bailing out Probac after Val Motors came back from an 81-65 deficit to take an 89-90 lead on Hernie Tamayo's short stab with 7.3 seconds left. But Concha was fouled by Godoy Cepriano on the next play and the
flashy guard calmly sank his charities after going 2-of-4 in his
previous trips to the stripe. |
