Bacolod pushes for
Palaro hosting

In support to Gov.Alfredo Marañon’s call to help the province’s bid to host the 2013 Palarong Pambansa, Bacolod City Mayor Evelio Leonardia wrote to Education Secretary Bro. Armin Luistro, endorsing Negros Occidental as next year’s host of the school-based national sports and cultural competition.

In his letter, Leonardia cited the long history of cooperation among the local government units in the province in hosting national and international sports events.

Bacolod, as the capital city of Negros Occidental, was one of the host cities of the Southeast Asian Games when the biennial sporting spectacle was held in the country in 2005.

Boston wins
PROBAC/LNA7 crown

With Jerald Abrot delivering 29 points, all in the second half, Boston Finance finally tamed Watchmen Daily Journal/ Vertex, 96-93, to capture the title in game three of the best-of-three final series of the 1st LNA7/PROBAC Invitational Basketball Tournament at the West Negros University gym.

A strong first quarter performance by Watchmen set the mood for an intense battle as WDJ registered a 21-15 advantage behind Ceasar Tan and Marion Opu-an’s combined output of 15 points, while Neil Deocuariza led Boston with 7 points.

JunJun Alisbo kept the Watchmen ahead by scoring 12 points in the second quarter for a 43-35 lead at the half.

UNO-R booters aim for
NOPSSCEA title

The University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos football squad hopes to land in the finals once again when the Negros Occidental Private Schools Sports, Cultural and Educational Association competition opens next month.

Placing second to the University of St. La Salle in last year’s season, Rams head coach Carlo Torbela said he is 70 percent sure of their chances to be in the finals. UNO-R also finished first runner-up in the national University Games in Roxas City last year after bowing to De La Salle University.

“We consider the University of St. La Salle Stingers as  still the strongest team in the league but we will challenge them,” Torbela said.
