High-School
All Star Game to be telecast LIVE on Fox Sports Asia
MARCH 3, 2015 (Manila) – SLAM PHILIPPINES, the #1 ‘in your face’ basketball magazine, is
bringing together once again Metro Manila’s top 24 high school basketball players
for the second annual SLAM Rising Stars Classic, happening this Sunday, March 29, 2015.
The country’s premier high school all-star game will return once
again to the Gatorade Hoops Center, the official venue of this annual event, in
Shaw Boulevard, Mandaluyong City, and will be carried LIVE on Fox Sports Asia,
with coverage starting at 7PM.
“Dreams are strongest among the young. As such, SLAM Philippines
believes in continuing to help young dreamers chase their big dreams. For the
2015 SLAM Rising Stars Classic, our commitment to highlight the future of Philippine
hoops grows even stronger,” said Mico Halili, SLAM Philippines’ Editor-in-Chief.
We're gathering the best high school players. We're placing them on the biggest
stage. We continue to believe in the power of their basketball dreams. ”
The inaugural event last year included such blue chip players as
UAAP Srs. Rookie Of The Year Arvin Tolentino (ADMU), UAAP Srs. Champion Rev
Diputado (NU), as well as NCAA Srs. Champions Radge Tongco and Javee Mocon (San
Beda). Former UAAP Jrs Finals MVP Hubert Cani helped Team Hype stave off a late
rally in the fourth quarter by Team Punks, led by former UAAP Jrs. MVP Thirdy
Ravena, clinging on to a 93-90 victory in a thrilling back and forth battle.
Cani won MVP game honors, finishing with 19 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, and
2 steals.
