The Negros Occidental secondary boys' baseball team's bid to redeem itself from a disappointing campaign last year started with a 6-1 drubbing of Guimaras yesterday in the Western Visayas Regional Athletic Association Meet at the Bacolod City National High School grounds.

Negros finished last a year ago after losing all their games for fielding an ineligible player. In the other match, Capiz rolled past Aklan, 11-9. Meanwhile, Iloilo defeated Aklan, 7-6, and Guimaras won over Capiz, 12-2, in the elementary boys' matches.

In the elementary men's basketball, Iloilo drove past Negros Occidental, 70-62, at the Negros Occidental Multi- Purpose Gym.

Twin towers Charles Angeles and Bryan Villaruz dominated the game for Iloilo with 18 and 11 points, respectively.

The 12- year old Angeles stands 5'11 and is originally from Bacolod City, but was recruited by the Iloilo Commercial Central High School. Negros Occidental, composed of St. John's Institute players, is led by spitfire Ray Garrido with coach Arvin Gustilo at the helm.

In secondary girls' volleyball at the University of St. La Salle Covered Court, Antique defeated Capiz, 25-16, 15-25, 13-25, Guimaras won over Aklan, 25-15, 11-25, 25-20, and Iloilo beat Antique, 25-13, 25-15.

In the secondary boys division, Iloilo walloped Antique, 25-5, 25-15, and Capiz, 27-25, 25-19. Capiz trounced Antique, 25-22, 29-27, Guimaras turned back Aklan, 24-14, 25-20, and Iloilo defeated Capiz, 25-13, 25-23 in the elementary boys' contest. In the elementary girls division, Iloilo downed Antique, 25-15, 25-14, before clipping Capiz, 25-19, 25-21. *JCF
