Coral Bay Nickel Corporation in full support of municipal-wide basketball tournament

Thursday, September 27, 2018

Coral Bay Nickel Corporation supported the first Inter-Barangay Basketball Association (IBBA Cup) which opened in June 16, 2017. San Miguel Beermen Marcio Lassiter graced the opening ceremonies following the traditional parade of the teams and oath of sportsmanship. After three months of hardcourt action, the event was capped off by the awarding ceremonies held last September 23, 2017 to recognize the best of the best.

Out of the 20 teams who joined, Barangay Marangas bagged the title as the first champion of the IBBA Cup and brought home with them a whopping  Php 100,000 cash prize. The team finished the season with an impressive record of only 1 loss out of 13 games. Meanwhile, Mark Dench Beringuer was named the Finals MVP with 58 points, including 12 three-point shots.

In a jam-packed championship battle held last September 21, 2017 at Usman Gym, in Brgy. Rio Tuba, Team Marangas ultimately cemented their road to the top despite their opponent's homecourt advantage. The first 2 quarters were all in favor of Team Rio Tuba but Team Marangas poured it on in the last 2 quarters, taking advantage of Rio Tuba’s turnovers. This gave Team Marangas their biggest lead, 96-91 and end up winning the Game 1 with 100-93.

IBBA Cup 2017 was held in partnership with the Municipality of Bataraza and RTNMC.
