CEBU CITY, Philippines—The SHS-AdC Magis Eagles dominated the Don Bosco Technology-Center (DBTC) Greywolves, 95-57, in the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation, Inc. (Cesafi) high school basketball on Thursday, October 26, 2023, at the Cebu Coliseum.
The Magis Eagles, the defending champions in the high school division stretched their winning streak to five games for a 5-1 (win-loss) record.
