DEFENDING CHAMPIONS Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu (SHS-AdC) made a beeline to the finals as they stomped over the University of Southern Philippines Foundation Baby Panthers (USPF), 79-61, in the semifinals of the Cebu leg of the Seaoil NBTC Elite League yesterday at the City Sports Club Cebu.

The final score belied how close the contest was in the first half, wherein the Magis Eagles led by just one, 34-33, at halftime.

But SHS-AdC showcased their veteran mettle and their awesome depth as they opened the second half with a 10-2 run anchored on big man Julius Cadavis and Patrick Go that opened up a 44-35 lead.
