CIS host Isac boy's football

THE CEBU International School (CIS) is ready to defend its turf as it host the second tournament of this year's International Schools Athletic Conference (Isac) starting today.

Seven other schools will be also coming for the boy's football and girl's high school basketball, which will be played over the weekends.

This is the second tournament, and the Isac season closes out this March with girl's football and boy's basketball in Baguio City. Each school earn points in every tournament, which are then added after the final event to determine the over-all title holder.

Last year, CIS tied Brent Laguna for the over-all title, despite having a fraction of Brent's population.

Other schools joining the three-day event are European International School, Southvile IS, Brent South, Brent Bagiou, Brent Subic, Brent Laguna, Mindanao First Christian Academy, and British School Manila.

"Actually, I expect us to perform better this year, the kids are a year smarter and older," CIS athletic director Brian Bedford said.

Expected to banner the CIS boys football team are Michael Sharpe, Red Miguel and Paolo Cases, who also play for San Roque FC in the Aboitiz Men's League Div. B, while Mara Reina will trade her football cleats for her sneakers as she joins the girl's basketball team.

The CIS boys are also fresh from winning the Boys 17 football crown in the Thirsty Cup last Jan. 8, capping a string of four straight Boys 17 titles in Cebu.

"I expect the boys to win the football event while I expect the girls to place with in the top three," Bedford said.

Former national team member and Tiger Cup veteran Joshua Fegidero of Bacolod will handle the coaching duties for the team.
