The First Davao Champion of Red Bull Half Court is on its way to victory in the National Finals in Manila!
The exiting Red Bull Half Court
Qualifiers in Davao came down to a talent-and-tenacity clash. The men’s competition
was controlled by the Blanca Golden Knights and the women’s division was
dominated by Coaches Corner, who commanded the court with extraordinary skill
and determination. The tournament showcased the finest of Davao’s streetball
scene, from jaw-dropping crossovers to buzzer-beaters, and it also produced
Davao’s first-ever Red Bull Half Court winners.
Rising stars emerged, leaving an
indelible mark on the court and setting the stage for an electrifying journey
ahead. The victorious teams from Davao now advance to the National Qualifiers,
where they will face off against other regional champions from across the
country alongside wildcard teams consisting of professional players to make the
competition more intense.

“We worked so hard to prepare for
the league, and we made sure to stay focused throughout each game and not because
complacent. Also, we leave it up to God in order to strengthen our determination
to win,” expressed by Blanca on how they prepared for the Red Bull Half Court
Davao Qualifiers.
Meanwhile, despite training
individually during their preparation, the winning team in the Women’s Division
attributed their triumph to their exceptional teamwork.

“Our teamwork has really set us
apart from the rest of the team today. We make sure to work seamlessly together
to communicate effectively on the court, which I think was the most important
thing in securing the victory,” the Coaches Corner team stated.
The stakes are high as they
compete for a coveted spot in the Red Bull Half Court World Finals, set to take
place in the basketball mecca of New York City.
Cemented by their recent triumphs,
Blanca, UMTC – 3, and Coaches Corner will go to the National Finals. With their
skills honed and their spirits unwavering, they stand ready to represent the Davao
region at the Red Bull National Finals this April 27, 2024.
