BY NIDA BUENAFE
St. John's Institute dribblers beat their counterparts from Bacolod Tay Tung High School, 80-71, to bag this year's NOPSSCEA Aspirant Basketball crown during the championship match at the Po Hang Gym.
Despite yielding the homecourt advantage to the Tay Tung boys, the Elvis Atinado-mentored Hua Ming young cagers made 13 three point shots to subdue BTTHS after a close 34-all first half.
Led by Marcelino Tan and Ted Ballesteros, who combined for 42 points, the victorious SJI team got a boost from inspired performance delivered by Kenneth de Leon, Ramil Calangan, Carlos Sian , Joshua Chua, Joshua Co, and Eric Jereza.
