Nopsscea wrests 13 titles
BY CEDELF TUPAS
Two more major titles fell into NOPSSCEA's coffers yesterday as the Negros Occidental contingent finished with 13 team crowns – the most for any delegation – in the Western Visayas Private Schools Athletic Association Meet in Kalibo, Aklan.
The twin wins that came in women's volleyball and men's basketball complemented earlier victories in men and women's table tennis, men and women's taekwondo, men and women's chess, men's badminton, women's athletics, women's lawn tennis and men's football.
Roger Banzuela, NOPSSCEA sports task force chairman, said attributed the good showing to the early preparation of the athletes. The NOPSSCEA shifted from a weekends-only event into a week-long tournament last September.
| Pahanocoy rules With a diminutive yet hard-punching fifth grader leading the way, Barangay Pahanocoy last night wrested overall honors in the first-ever Monico Cup Golden Gloves Inter-Barangay Boxing Tournament in Bacolod City. Standing 3-feet 5-inches, Jonel Labordo – who took up boxing two years ago – set the tone for the Pahanocoy pugs with a relentless display in winning the 28 kg. title. The 12-year-old Labordo, whose exploits earned a best boxer accolade in the 26-36 kg. divisions, was one of four Pahanocoy champions at the end of the three-month, weekends-only tournament. |
