WITH two imports and a reliable veteran added to the team, the
Coca-Cola Tigers are expected to go deep in the 2008 Fiesta Cup.
The people from Panabo, Davao Del Norte will get
a first-hand look on the powerhouse team when it faces the Talk ‘N
Text Phone Pals on Saturday at the Panabo Multi-Purpose Tourism
Cultural and Sports Center.
The Tigers, who acquired Nic Belasco from the
Welcoat Dragons for Mark Isip, are allowed to field in two imports
in the season-ending tournament.
They will parade 6-foot-9 former Liberty
University standout Jason Dixon and 5’10” former University of
Buffalo guard Calvin Cage.
Aaron DeShon McGhee, a 6-foot-8,250-pound power
forward who starred for the Oklahoma University Sooner that reached
the 2002 US NCAA Final Four will reinforce the Phone Pals.
The formal opening ceremonies will be held on
Sunday with the traditional double-header pitting Welcoat against
Air21 and Red Bull against Barangay Ginebra at the Araneta Coliseum.
