The 2023 Milo Champion’s League just held its successful third leg in Buenavista, Guimaras last April 30, 2023 at the municipality of San Roque.
After a fun-filled second leg held in Lawi Gym in Jordan, hundreds of aspiring young ballers flocked to San Roque for some intense basketball action.
During the first game, Park Espinosa powered his way with 22 big points, five rebounds, four assists, and two blocks to lead team Falcons against team Amicus, in the 18-under category.
Espinosa was just unstoppable every time he went to the paint and fished for fouls that helped team Falcons pull away in the final minutes of the game.
Team Archegos then clinched a much-needed victory over the JNHS hoopers in the second game of the April 30 schedule.
Paul Mejia was a man on a mission after a near double-double performance of 22 points, eight rebounds, three blocks, and one dime to earn Best Player of the Game honors.
For the third game of the Buenavista leg, the NV Growling Leopards got the better of team Archegos in the 25-under category.
Nel Marvin Siason was hailed as the Best Player of the Game for the Growling Leopards after stuffing the stat sheet with 24 markers, five assists, five steals, and three blocks.
For the second game of the 25-under category, team Young Guns pulled off a statement win against team PCBA.
John Clarence Gabito, Young Guns’ superstar, played one of his best games of the tournament after dropping 18 points, seven boards, and six blocks.
The Milo Champion’s League Guimaras edition is now halfway before determining the tournament seeding and every game for all teams will be crucial for the point system.
