PATTS nears ISAA crown
The smallest man on court made the big difference as defending champion PATTS College of Aeronautics repulsed hard-fighting La Consolacion College Manila, 54-50, Monday in Game 1 of the 8th Inter-Scholastic Athletic Association menís basketball tournament.
The 5-foot-7 Joshua Diaz completed a steal and made the insurance free throws in the final minute to seal the Seahorsesí win at Trinity of University of Asia Gym.
“We’re going for a sweep,” said coach Lency Aransazo as PATTS shoots for the title in Game 2 Wednesday.
