KAPATAGAN intends to make waves in its first foray in pro basketball, the Mindanao leg of the 2021 Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas VisMin Super Cup.
The Buffalo Braves backcourt will consist of Teytey Teodoro, Renz Palma, Ryan Costelo, and Shaq Alanes.
Also tapped by the team are Letran’s Christian Fajarito and Alex Mandreza, who are looking to secure a special guest license from the Games and Amusements Board.
Joining Fajarito in the frontline are Jay Ar Ng Sang, Jamil Gabawan, and homegrown big Paul Siarot.
Completing the squad are Eduardo Doroteo, King Astrero, Genmar Bragais, Marlon Monte, and Lanao Del Norte’s own Joel Sollano, Carlos Tabaquero, Jeames Incio, and Jeoffrey Acain.
The league has yet to announce the venue and start date of the Mindanao Leg that will feature nine teams.
Despite having only a few weeks to prepare, Braves coach Cris Bautista is embracing the challenge thrown at him by team owner Harrison Young.
“This is going to be a running team,” Bautista said.
Team members will only get to meet each other later this week. That explains why Bautista plans to take it one game at a time.
