WEST NEGROS COULD
FACE ST. FRANCIS AGAIN
BY CEDELF TUPAS

West Negros College could go head-to-head again with bitter rival St. Francis of Assisi College as both teams qualified for the Philippine Collegiate Basketball Champions League that tips off Nov. 10 in Manila .

The Mustangs, who are coming off a third place finish in the Philippine University Games, and Doves --- the Universities and Colleges Athletic Association champs --- figured in a brawl-marred Unigames quarterfinal showdown at the Natalio Velez Gym in Silay City in Oct. 26.

WNC won, 59-55, as game officials abandoned the match with 18 seconds left when St. Francis players cleared the bench and got involved in the melee on the court. Four WNC players involved in the brawl were also sanctioned.

Scoreless in the win against St. John's Institute, the former University of St. La Salle-Integrated School standout stepped up and joined forces with Orly John Pelopero to finish off the Cebu cagers, who advanced to the finals of the 15-Under tournament at the expense of SJI.

Pelopero, a 6-foot-3 player, boosted ICCHS with 17 points, including 13 in the second period, where the Ilonggos pulled away for good.
