The 2015 Oktoberfest Shootout Basketball League turned in another slew of games Sunday morning to afternoon with teams from the Philippines visiting. In the late game of the day, Guam’s Wild Boars defeated the visiting Philippines team in the U16 division 63-46.
Ethan Alegre led the Boars in scoring with 25 points as they led wire-to-wire. Alegre did most of his damage inside the paint, which presented eight free throw trips where Alegre converted on seven.
The League kicked off on Saturday and will wrap up on Halloween Weekend.

Pro triathlete Mieko Carey finished third in XTERRA Japan on Sunday in a time of 3:43:02. Her career was on hiatus for a couple of years raising her twin children. It’s safe to say the 40-year-old is back in top form. Congratulations Mieko san!
