RP Team to Tap Tall Players for SEAG

By Olmin Leyba



MANILA, Philippines – Despite the relative lack of ceiling, the Philippines managed to sweep the competitions in the 7th SEABA Women’s Championship, including a 76-54 rout of ex-champ Thailand, en route to its first ever international cage title.
So, for the Discovery Perlas ng Pilipinas’ next campaign, the FIBA-Asia Women’s Championship and the Southeast Asian Games in 2011, coach Haydee Ong aims to strengthen the interior of the crew, which paraded only one six-footer in the SEABA in 6-0 Cassandra Tioseco.
“I hope we’ll have legitimate threats in the post for our two major tournaments next year,” said Ong, whose team eyes 6-3 Chinese Zheng Xiaojing as its naturalized player to fill in the gaping hole in the shaded lane.


With the experience of the Philippine Women's Basketball Team in the recently concluded SEA Championship which the country won for the first time, our women's team will be the hot favorites in this year's SEAG in Indonesia. I hope they will again prevail. Go Filipinos Go!
