Loptta offers facilities for Region VI Palaro

Loptta offers facilities
for Region VI Palaro
BY CHRISTIAN IRL TAN

The Lopue's Table Tennis Association is offering its facilities to the Western Visayas Regional Athletics Association Meet from Feb. 11-16 in Bacolod City.

LOPTTA press relation officer Johnard Baldonado yesterday said the association is willing to lend the venue for free to the Department of Education during the school-based meet.

The Negros Occidental DepEd, headed by Divisions School Supt. Eva Belicena, said that it is still taking into consideration LOPTTA's offer even if the table tennis hostilities have initially been set at the Panaad grounds. LOPTTA is offering its facilities because the grassroots development program is a part of the association's priorities and we want the student-athletes to play in world-class tables, Baldonado said.

Mavs bounce back;
Memphis snap skid

SALT LAKE CITY - Dirk Nowitzki scored 38 points and got some needed support from his Dallas teammates as the Mavericks beat Utah 108-105 in a National Basketball Association contest.

Josh Howard added 21 points for the Mavericks, who bounced back from Sunday's 101-98 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers that snapped a 13-game winning streak. In San Antonio, Tony Parker returned from a hip injury to play a role in a balanced San Antonio attack that saw the Spurs post a 98-84 victory over Portland.

Tim Duncan collected 16 points and nine rebounds to lead four starters in double figures as the Spurs won their second straight game after dropping a season-worst three straight.
