San Beda Still Unbeaten In PSSBC

San Beda College outlasted reigning titlist Hope Christian High School in a battle of undefeated teams even as Ateneo and San Sebastian booked their slots in the quarterfinals of the 2nd Philippine Secondary Schools Basketball Championship (PSSBC) held over the weekend at the Chiang Kai Shek College gym in Manila.

The Red Cubs, proud owners of 21 NCAA titles, leaned heavily on their torrid start anchored on rock-solid defense and impressive perimeter sniping to beat Hope Christian, 77-70, and move a win away from sweeping the six-team Group B elims.

“Our strong start gave us enough buffer heading into the second half. It’s a good win but this is just the elimination round and the real battle has yet to happen,” said San Beda coach JV Sison.
