“The gym looks great after completing its quarterly maintenance that included the changing out the old rims to dunking rims in preparation of the tournament. It’s been a full house each day and the fans have been wonderful supporting and cheering for their favorite teams,” said tournament coordinator Elsa Ulloa.

Ulloa adds that having the Republic of the Philippines National 14U Team in the tournament has added more excitement for the fans.

“It’s not often for fans to watch a youth national team from another country play on Guam so this has been a treat for the fans to see them perform on the court,” stated Ulloa.
