THE BATTLE of the birds ensue tomorrow for a slot to the national finals of the National Basketball Training Center (NBTC) as the Cebu champions, Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu Magis Eagles take on the Ormoc titlists New Ormoc National High School Eagles at the Ormoc Superdome.
Gametime is set at 5 p.m. with the Magis Eagles looking to take another step closer in their title defense of the national crown that they won last year in Manila.
SHS-AdC outlasted the University of the Visayas in a grueling three-game series while New Ormoc cruised to a two-game sweep of the Ed Ventures of Ipil National High School.
The winner of this knockout game will earn a ticket to the national finals along with the other regional champions from the Visayas, namely from Iloilo ad Bacolod. /Correspondent Jonas Panerio
