AFTER A rigorous two days filled with various individual assessment drills and a five-on-five scrimmage session that had numerous Jr. NBA coaches watching their every move, 14 boys and girls from all over the Visayas stood out and made the cut for the Jr. NBA Philippines 2017 presented by Alaska National Training Camp this May.

Seven girls were also given slots to the nationals. These were Ynna Juanne Abella from the Sotero Cabahug Forum for Literacy, Princess Delig of the Abellana National High School, Aishe Solis of Marymount Academy, Chinnsai Deanna from the University of the Visayas-Mandaue, Tara Sabalones from the Montessori Academy of Southern Cebu Inc., Frenzie Tagalog from the University of Southern Philippines Foundation and Maybelle Retubado of the Bulacao Community High School.
