WITH the semifinals nearing on the horizon, the games in the 13-under Division A are heating up as slots to the next round are up for grabs in the 2013 ThreeSixty Pharmacy Cup-Cebu Youth Basketball League 6 today at the several venues.
At the Cebu Eastern College (CEC) gym, CEC will be taking on the University of San Jose-Recoletos (USJ-R) A while the University of San Carlos (USC) battles Don Bosco-A at the Don Bosco gym.
The Dragons are at 2-2 (win-loss), good for third place, and will be trying to stave off USJ-R, which remains in the hunt in spite of its 1-4 record. On the other hand, USC is tied with CEC in the standings but are hard-pressed to fight off Don Bosco (1-2).
In the 16-under division, SHS-AdC and CEC aim to keep in step with the league-leading University of the Visayas when they battle one another at the Don Bosco gym.
Both are tied at 1-1 and are pursuing UV, which owns a clean 2-0 mark. Abellana National High School and USJ-R will also duke it out for the fourth slot and the last ticket to the next round. /Correspondent Jonas Panerio
