La Salle cops 7th win
By Fernelle C. Rodriguez
THE University of St. La Salle Baby Stingers maintained their untainted lead in the on-going elimination round of the Basketball Unified Sports Group Panasonic 17-Under Basketball Tournament.
The La Salle dribblers easily swept their assignment by defeating two teams over the weekend at the Po hang Gym of the Bacolod Tay Tung High School.
The Stingers hurdled the hardcourt with tough rivals and last year's runner-up Bacolod Tay Tung High School Saturday morning.

The La Salle dribblers, however, overpowered the Tay Tung players, gaining their sixth win, 75-64. The Stingers secured 50 baskets in the half-time as Tay Tung boarded with 28.
The La Salle team then clinched their seventh win by defeating St. Joseph's High School yesterday noon. The Baby Stingers easily breezed thru their game by topping over their opponents by also half score, 103-57.
