LAGUNA, Philippines – Team Philippines was again showcased their relentless dominance in the Southeast-Asian basketball scene, after the Under-18 national hoops squad captured the gold medal in the 2014 SEABA U-18 Championship on Wednesday, May 7 at the Tawau Community Hall in Sabah, Malaysia.
The archipelago wasted no time in demolishing Singapore, 124-63 in their final game to complete a three-game sweep in the four-nation tournament.
Head coach Jamike Jarin’s wards used a 43-15 juggernaut in the second period to oust the Singaporean side with ease. Paul Desiderio topscored 17 markers.
No less than former Palarong Pambansa stalwarts showcased their brilliance in the international scene.
