2011 WECA Basketball Tournament Opening Ceremonies







Today was the start of this year's WECA Basketball Tournament with 14 teams competing. It began with a program with a welcome address and a short message from WECA Senior Pastor Glenn Patrick. Presentation of the 14 colourful teams came next, followed by the oath of sportsmanship led by AC Atinaja, last year's All Star Games MVP. Two(2) teams from Group A were selected through draw lots by Philippine Honorary Consul Esmeralda Agbulos, while former Consul Victor Cui did for Group B. Pastor Denise Kroeker thanks the volunteers and declared the tournament open. An inspirational message ws delivered by Consul Agbulos followed by the ceremonial jump ball. In Group A, the Knights galloped to victory against the Intenzity by 3 points (43 vs 40), while on the second game team South toppled the taller WECA team by 4 points (52 vs 48). All team captains are reminded to have their players wear the right uniform during games. Once again, a big thanks to all the volunteers.
