Xavier, San Beda collide
XAVIER School and San Beda College collide in the winner-take-all fight for the 3rd Philippine Secondary Schools Basketball Championship (PSSBC) Ironcon Builders Cup title at Chiang Kai Shek College in Tondo, Manila today.
Xavier dispatched champion teams Chiang Kai Shek College and National University to arrange a title showdown with San Beda. Gametime is 2:30 p.m.
Aside from the sweet-shooting Tyler Tio, Xavier can also count on Kyle Ong and Ralph Cu. It is hoping to become the second Fil-Chinese school to win the event after Hope Christian High School ruled the inaugurals in 2012.
San Beda reached the finals after downing Far Eastern University, 61-57. Out to lead its bid are the quintet of Niko Abatayo, Sam Abuhijleh, Norrish Decapia, Chami Diputado and Andrei Caracut.
