THE Davao Merchant Marine Academy (DMMA) College of Southern Philippines Sailors is “shorter” than the MATS Navigators based on their height difference.
DMMA Sailors have only two six footers compared to MATS Navigators, who have five six-footers plus three 5-foot-11.
John Kelvin Amora, and April Lemuel Jumamoy are the only six-footers in DMMA.
But DMMA head coach Bambie Santander is not really affected.
His team is ready to play in the first game on October 16 at the Babak Gym in Samal Island for the Inter-Collegiate Division of the ALDU Cup in the Davao del Norte Basketball League (DDNBL).
Aeron Steve Catipayis the only one player remaining from the old roster while the rest are new players.
They are Peter Paul Flores, Roi Nolasco, Errol Jan Vital Albor, Jacob Villadelgado, Christian Serag Julius Caezar Requillo, Godofredo Galendez, Jahpet Galupo, Mon Pedrajas, Joel Padillo, Opon Andrei Naush and Suaeb Jhamill Dimasingkil.
DMMA and MATS are in Bracketed B of the ALDU Cup together with Saint John Paul II, Brokenshire College and University of Mindanao Tagum.
Bracket A are Jose Maria College, Philippine Women’s College, Davao del Norte State College, UM Davao and UM Samal.
DDNBL Commissioner and SanMan Sports Foundation Chairman Arman Sañano said the games will also be played in Tagum, Panabo, Carmen and Davao City.
