The game between Jr. National and Sonics will start at 5:30 p.m.., as Basketball Association of Northern Mariana Islands scheduled the games from Monday to Thursday.
Eight teams all of them had been participating before have signed up for this year’s league that had been put on hold many times due to bigger events and continuous power outages.
Rollers I and Rollers II both still playing in the ongoing Northern Youth Basketball Association league will face tomorrow at 6 p.m.
G-Stars and Sixers who are also in the NYBA will collide on Wednesday.
BANMI president Elias Rangamar had been working it out in the few weeks to push through with the league despite teams’ difficulties in finding sponsors and coaches.
Last week, coach and team managers came to submit to submit the requirements of the players. To date, only two of the teams have not completed the documents yet, but the managers vowed to have them before their own game schedules.
Meanwhile, NYBA president Joe Diaz had to squeeze their own league to fewer weeks in able to participate in the Rotary caging. He said he formed his own team for the Rotary Club caging.
The Rotary Club tournament which usually opens at the end of school days was initially scheduled in June.
However, the lack of response among coaches and managers had left the organizers no choice but to push the league back for another schedule.
They were almost in the verge of canceling the league if teams did not start getting their acts together.
