The Mustangs which currently stand at the seventh spot in the collegiate team standings have three wins with four losses. They have three crucial games remaining to keep their final four hopes alive.

Meanwhile, CBSAA will play against the University of San Carlos (USC) Baby Warriors at 5:15 p.m. tomorrow.
The Trailblazers, last year’s first-runners-up in the Cesafi high school division have been struggling throughout the season with a relatively new lineup and with the absence of their head coach Leode Garcia who is serving a whole-season suspension.
They are currently ranked 7th in the high school division with their 3-4 record. They have three games left including tomorrow’s crucial matchup against the Baby Warriors.
Their last two games will be against the UC Baby Webmasters (5-3) on November 19 and UV Baby Green Lancers (6-2) on November 25.
In case they win their three remaining games, they will have a shot for the No. 4 spot, given other Cesafi teams such as UV, UC, and CEC Dragons (5-4) lose their last remaining games.
