All set for Southern Island C’ship

The cast is complete for the teams that will play here in Cebu for the Southern Islands Championship of the 2012 Philippine Collegiate Champions League (PCCL), which will be held on Nov. 13 to 15 at the Cebu Coliseum.

This after the Holy Trinity College of General Santos upended last year’s Mindanao champions STI-Cagayan de Oro, 100-78, in the Mindanao regionals of the tournament at the Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology gym in Iligan City.

The Wildcats got 27 points from Christopher Masaging to lead the way for the squad to make it to the Sweet 16, where they will face the Visayas regionals titlists West Negros University on Nov. 13.

Also contributing significant numbers for Holy Trinity were Denver Polistico and Kevin Pragados, who combined for 30 markers.

The winner of the game between the Wildcats and the Mustangs will be taking on the winner of the game between Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation (Cesafi) runners-up University of the Visayas and third placers University of San Jose-Recoletos.

The winner of that match set for Nov. 14 will battle Cesafi champions Southwestern University for the Southern Islands title and the right to advance to the Final Four slated Nov. 15.

Also making a sojourn to Cebu are the Letran Knights and the National University Bulldogs, who will face one another on Nov. 14.
