TEAM Greats is out to score a repeat of its win last year but Team Stalwarts is equally determined to show its real worth.

The winner will be known when former top pick overall Brandon Ganuelas-Rosser and the rest of Team Great battle Team Stalwarts on March 23 in the PBA All-Star weekend in Bacolod City.

Last year in Passi, Iloilo, Team Greats whipped Team Stalwarts 158-138 in the return of the Blitz Game after a seven-year absence featuring rookie, sophomore, and junior players.

Adrian Wong was named MVP of the side event that introduced for the first time the four-point line and three-point dunk shot.

Ganuelas-Rosser was on the losing side the last time but will definitely be looking for his personal payback this season.

San Miguel Beer rookie guard Kyt Jimenez emerged as the top pick of Team Stalwarts to be coached by Beermen deputy coach Peter Martin.

Joining Jimenez in the team are Stephen Holt, Keith Datu, Fran Yu, Adrian Nocum, Kim Aurin, John Amores, JM Calma, Joshua Munzon, Anton Asistio, Leonard Santillan, and Keith Zaldivar.
