WNC appeals ban on cager
BY CEDELF TUPAS

Calling the lifetime ban “too much and unfair”, West Negros College has appealed the sanction on its basketball player, Jason Melarin, who had been tagged as the instigator of the brawl during the basketball quarterfinal game between WNC and St. Francis of Assisi College Friday.

Malot Lozada, the Unigames basketball tournament manager, has recommended an indefinite suspension on the 6-foot-3 Melarin in future Unigames competitions.

In an Oct. 27 letter to the University Games chairman coursed through Lozada, Anthony Carlo Agustin, chairman of the WNC committee on sports management and development office, expressed disappointment over the fighting that broke out in the later stages of the game at the Natalio Velez Gym.
