AC Sports lead winners in USC-PTA hoop

The AC Sports, led by USC-BEDSC PTA Socio-Cultural, Sports Outreach committee chairman and former SWU Cobra Cesar Ortega, nailed its third straight victory, escaping with a 79-75 decision over the USC Boys High Faculty in the 2nd PTA caging played Wednesday night at the USC Boys high gym along Gen. Maxilom Ave.

In the opener, the Cokaliong Shipping powered by Abe Galinato, defeated the PTA North, 73-65, for its second straight win.
