We are upbeat on the level of competition we’re about to see and we promise to hold a season like no other,” said league president Sherwin Tiu of Saint Jude.Aside from basketball, the PCYAA, which tips off on January 18, will also stage events in volleyball, badminton, table tennis, swimming, and chess.
