Mighty Sports of Batch 2010-2014 ruined what could be a storybook finish for AcroCity MEC of Batch 2021 as it scored a 91-77 win to rule the 2024 Xavier Alumni Basketball League on Sunday at the Xavier School Sports Center in Greenhills, San Juan City.

In a showdown between sister teams, it was Batch 2010-2011 which proved to be the better, sharper and steadier one as it repelled numerous attempts of the younger batch to prevail in the country’s longest-running alumni basketball league.

Striking hardest for Mighty Sports was Harold Ng who completed a rare triple-double with 39 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists to win the Finals Most Valuable Player.

He was ably supported by Angelo Wongchuking and Philex Yao, who tallied 13 points each, to help highlight the team’s dominant show that denied the Keith Wongchuking-led AcroCity from becoming the youngest squad to win the event.

The title win was Mighty Sports organization’s 14th since taking part in the event. “Everyone who took part in this tournament for our dear school is also a winner, so congratulations everyone,” said Caesar Wongchuking, head of Mighty Sports organization.

Former Philippine Basketball Association player Jarrel Lim paced AcroCity — the newest development estate at the heart of Guiguinto, Bulacan — with 31 points, seven boards and three assists while Joseph Yeo and Keith Wongchuking combined for 27 points.

Before taking a break, Mighty Sports has been actively competing overseas, winning the Jones Cup twice — 2016 and 2019 — and the Dubai Invitational championships in 2020, becoming the first non-Middle East team to win the prestigious event.
