Time flies so fast for BBL Season 3 as we now have completed our mid-season! 15 heart pounding, nail biting, thunder intensity, and one hell of a roller coaster ride feels so far. The promise of a solid game every weekend is so far being delivered by each of our 6 competitive teams as well as all the unsung heroes who silently contributes a lot at the background every week to make sure our BBLS3 event goes smoothly.

The Story so far…

Team Maple
Has delivered quality games on a game to game basis. They are 5 games in and still struggling to get their first W. Surely a true powerhouse team if only their full roster gets to show up, however that has not been the case. Santos "Big" brothers and Dan "Danilicious" Formoso are now carrying the team as scoring leaders. Nald Calimag continues his promise to deliver the boards! Their "Big Man guard" Pat Manlalangit was a big help in an "almost but not quite" game against Clubhouse in their last game. As well as Jayson "Durant", still in the injured list, providing some direction and coaching to this young team from the west. If they can make this factors consistent, they still have a good chance in getting to the playoffs…

Team Ollie
The only team with a nickname! The only team allowed to have 9 POs. So far they have managed to be in the fifth spot of the standings, recording a win and 4 loses. The Santos "Big" Brothers again averaging a combined 18 points help lift this team every game. Their man in the middle JR "JRV" Vergara, crushing the boards with 12 a game, league leader in rebounds continuous to provide a defensive foundation every night. However they still come short of wins. What to do? Mid-season is coming and Team Ollie got to climb the standings.

Team Alder
It was definitely a bumpy start for the "gang". They are a team combination of Alpha dogs getting together from rival teams from previous seasons. Several redundant roles had to be re-baseline. They are coming in the next half of this season with a 2 Win streak. Have they figured it out? Their solid bigs: Jan "Wall" Carino, Lou "Batista", Jerwin "Feed the Beard" Bargas can cage the paint and not let anyone in, crushing a combined double-double average: 20 points & 15 rebounds per game! Aldermen will try to claim the Eastern throne from Team Evergreen as they also try to get a better spot in the playoff standings.

Team Evergreen
Currently the top team in the East led by Captain Gerald and the league's Top 2 scoring leader Randy "Savage" Santos. Comfortably sitting in the third spot of the league standings… but is this enough? Only time will reveal. We know they got the skills and teamwork to make the wins as they have already proven in the first half of the season. They will try to make the same or even a better story in the last half of the season as they position themselves in a playoff series situation. Their two young rising stars: Charles "Lieutenant" Camero & Zoe "Pretty Boy Sniper" will definitely help them get their Everdream!

Team Clubhouse
A dark horse, you said? Well, now you know! How quick and solid this team is made of. All teams always had a chance to beat them. Their wins were never more than 6 points. They are definitely a fourth quarter team and a last two minute team. A strength that will be hard to defy. Their big 3 Elad "Mr Smiles" Cerenio and the Molato brothers has a combined 39 point average at the midseason taking advantage of their quickness and familiarity with each other. Plus the rest of their Clubhouse boys filling out all the gaps in all areas of the court. Resulting to their solid position in the league.

Team Calathea
So far, their strength in numbers have helped them dominate the league. The team giants of the West closed out the mid-season with a super neat 5 - 0 win-loss card! Their 2 young guns, "Wreck-It-Ralph" Marinay, leads their scoring & Ram "Slam" Zaragosa, leads their rebounds, while the rest of Tito's of Calathea carries out a well distributed stat line. This team is the most attended roster among all our teams having enough bullets and five-team combination on the court against their every opponent. They have a buffet of players giving them a lot of flexibility to adjust and win every game.

The league is still so far from over. We are just halfway the elimination round. Exciting times and games to come. Keep the cheer and love coming as we continue the next 5 days of our elimination round! See you at the court! BBLS3!
