NOPSSCEA JUNIOR BASKETBALL
Montalbo carries SJI to semifinals;
WNU, UNO-R in `grudge match’

St. John’s Institute high school boys’ basketball team beat defending champion West Negros University junior Mustangs, 89-78, then did the same thing to University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos junior Rams, 73-64, to clinch the first semifinal ticket in NOPSSCEA junior basketball at the WNU Gym over the weekend.

The twin victories gave the SJI Falcons the No. 1 seat in their bracket, leaving WNU and UNO-R to scramble for the last berth, as University of St. La Salle- IS bows out of contention with two straight losses.

The junior Mustangs and junior Rams will slug it out on Nov. 24 at 10 a.m., in a match-up dubbed by SJI head coach Dexter Dy as a “grudge match” between the two schools.

The contingent from Sipalay City and Hinobaan, comprising the Sub Area 1, bagged the overall championship in elementary girls and secondary boys’ ballgames, while placing second behind Sub Area 3 or the Kabankalan contingent in elementary boys’ ballgames and third in secondary girls’ ballgames.
