cagers off to Nike Elite Camp
BY PATRICK PANGILINAN
Seven young cagers will represent Western Visayas today at the start of the 2nd Nike Elite Basketball Camp at the Brent International School in Laguna.
Ian Gabriel Villanueva, Jason Salvado, Joey Kevin Sellado, Rommel Vivero, Luis Alfonso Dela Paz, Kim Gabriel Flores, and Jorey Tajonera will join Manila-based players in the camp under former Philippine Basketball Association coach Eric Altamirano and San Beda mentor Edmundo "Ato" Badolato. The players bested 55 other aspirants during the try outs held at St. John's Institute Jan. 21 and will meet cagers from Cebu, Davao, Pampanga, Batangas, and Manila.
Talent scout Dexter Dy said Salvado, Villanueva, and
Vivero have played in last year's Palarong Pambansa and should have
an edge in the training.
