Selected members of the Grade School Basketball Team took the 2016 GUAM YOUTH ATHLETIC INTERNATIONAL SPORTS FESTIVAL Basketball Tournament Championship Title for the 12 Under Basketball Boys Division after completing a 5-0 sweep against the taller and older Guam school-based teams.
In the eliminations, DLSZ defeated POWERHOUSE GUAM Team, St. John Knights, St. Anthony Raiders, and the Wildcats using their fast-break offensive system and high-pressure defensive system under Coach Jhun Villarin.
In the semi-final round, they defeated the WILDCATS.
During the Championship, DLSZ led as many as 30 points led by balance attack of Nicolo Alfonso Mulingtapang (DLSZ 2022) and the pesky defense of RJ DOLOR. DLSZ defeated San beda College with a 50-38 win at St. John’s School in Guam, USA.
DLSZ is composed of NICOLO MULINGTAPANG (MVP), brothers RYANH JOSE DOLOR (DLSZ 2022) AND RYANH DOMINICO DOLOR (DLSZ 2024), DON DARYL VALDEAVILLA (DLSZ 2025) and JUAN CARLOS RAFER (DLSZ 2022).
The GUAM YOUTH ATHLETIC INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL was hosted by Hon. Speaker of Guam Legislator Senator Judith Won Pat, Ed.D last October 29- November 3, 2016.
