Kaba-Maasin Basketball Team







The association that I belong to and been active with here in Las Vegas is "Kaba-Maasin Las Vegas". Kaba-Maasin formed a basketball team and joined the Las Vegas Asian basketball League. So far the team already played 6 times and out that won 4 times. Not bad for a new league participant. The games were held at a local high school gym every Sunday evening. Complete with uniform jerseys, the team is wholly supported by the members of Kaba-Maasin, all coming from our native hometown of Maasin City, Philippines.

In my last entry, I have mentioned that our former president just passed away and we all attended his funeral service. After a day of mourning, the Kaba boys were all geared up to go back to the gym and dedicate last Sunday's (Mar 01) game to the late Alan. What was so special about that game was that an Alan-incarnate played with the team in the person of his grandson, Jonathan. The youngest among the players and the quickest, Jonathan was able to cope up with the team and had a very good performance throughout the game. He wore the jersey of his granddad complete with Alan's name embroidered on the back. The team ended up winning the game, its 4th win for the season.

GO TEAM!!!!
