MANILA, Philippines — AcroCity inched closer to history in the Xavier Alumni Basketball League (XABL) by downing Uratex 2018, 76-67, recently to advance to the winner-take-all final at the Xavier School Sports Center in San Juan.
Behind former PBA star Joseph Yeo, AcroCity, the newest development estate at the heart of Guiguinto, Bulacan, defeated the Uratex side of former La Salle captain Joaqui Manuel in an exciting contest.
AcroCity boasts a lovely 3-star hotel, a fine dining restaurant, wellness center and logistics warehousing.
Yeo got support from former UP Maroons star Jarrel Lim and Keith Wongchuking as the Mike Fermin-mentored AcroCity moved a win away from becoming the youngest squad to reign supreme in the longest running alumni league in the country.
Standing in the way of AcroCity is sister team Mighty Sports 2010-11 of Angelo Wongchuking and coach TY Tang, which subdued PetOne, 74-70, thanks to the heroics of Harold Ng and ex-pro Rafael Banal.
This marks the first time that sister teams from the Mighty Sports organization of Caesar Wongchuking will be battling for the ultimate prize.
