Four teams -- split into two divisions -- will dispute the First National Hoops 3-on-3 basketball championship this afternoon at the Ynares Center in Antipolo City.
JARC and SHS-J will contest the Junior Varsity championship (13-15 years old) while PCU Dolphins will challenge Team Moley for the varsity title (16-19 years) of the event held under the auspices of National Hoops USA and supported by the Philippine Basketball Association.
Serving as appetizer for Game 3 of the 2008 Smart PBA Fiesta Conference semifinals, the National Hoops finale gets rolling at 3:30 p.m. starting with the junior varsity game. Each game will be played for 10 minutes.
"We're very excited to be holding the Finals in a championship atmosphere. We're very thankful to PBA commissioner Sonny Barrios and the entire PBA organization for their kindness and generosity to play host to this event. We truly appreciate the gesture," said Mike Waters, chief organizer of the National Hoops 3-on-3 tourney.
The JARC and PCU Dolphins teams topped their respective divisions after a grueling 52 games among Metro Manila contestants while SHS-J and Team Moley ruled the Cebu leg after 23 elimination games.
