CEBU CITY, Philippines – The University of the Visayas and the SHS-Ateneo Lux Oriens will square off for the championship in the 12-under division after they hurdled their opponents in the semifinals on Saturday, July 6, 2019, at the SHS-Ateneo de Cebu basketball courts along Mango Avenue.
UV demolished St. Benedict, 62-33, in a woefully-lopsided affair that saw the Baby Lancers grab a 24-3 lead at the onset and never looked back after that. John Carl Baring led UV with 12 points.
SHS-Ateneo Lux Oriens on the other hand, outclassed Don Bosco Technical College, 37-28. Kean Gubat had 13 points while Benj Chua added nine for the boys in blue.
