To recall, the Dragons became one of the most exciting teams to watch in the previous season of the Cesafi high school basketball tournament.

This was after, they toppled the eventual three-peat champions, the Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu (SHS-AdC) Magis Eagles, 71-61, in the elimination round. 

The CEC Dragons finished their season with six wins and four losses, but eventually failed to make it to the final four due to the Cesafi’s winner-over-the-other rule.

Despite this, the Dragons made an impression that they can also contend in the highly-competitive Cesafi high school division. 

Meanwhile, its 12-under topped the Cesafi elementary division basketball after beating the University of San Jose-Recoletos (USJ-R) Baby Jaguars, 58-34, last December. 

The tryouts will begin at 1:00 p.m to 5:00 p.m.
