Mindanao’s top elementary and high school teams will clash for berths in the national finals when the regional tournament of the 2014 Small Basketeers of the Philippines-Passerelle championships unfold tomorrow at Xavier University in Cagayan de Oro.

Vying in Passerelle play are reigning regional champion Holy Child College of Davao, Cagayan de Oro’s Corpus Christi School, GenSan’s Notre Dame of Dadiangas-IBED Lagao and Zamboanga’s Claret School.
The Mindanao winners of the twin tournament, organized by BEST Center and sponsored by Milo, will advance to the finals slated Dec. 12 to 14 at Magis Eagles Arena of Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu.
