St. Stephen’s High School and MGC-New Life Christian Academy earned automatic semifinal berths with twice-to-beat advantages after finishing in the top two of the Philippine Ching Yuen Athletic Association Season 11 high school basketball tournament.

The Stephenians, led by the trio of Sam Jarone Ng, Bryle Gareth Teng, and Josh Cedrick Ong, topped the eliminations with a 6-1 win-loss record but stumbled in their final game, losing to Uno High School, 71-48.

Meanwhile, the New Lifers, bannered by Adam Keith Uy and Karl Bryan Yue, had to hack a 75-62 victory over Uno in their second-place playoff on Tuesday to earn the second semis berth after finishing with a 5-2 slate.
