First Seaoil All-Star High School game to be held on March 2012

Finally, an All-Star game for high school ballers in the Philippines. While we're all crazy about college hoops (UAAP and NCAA) and the PBA, it's about time young guns from high schools all over the country to get some love.

You can expect this to be just as competitive as the basketball we've all grown to enjoy. These kids will be the future of basketball here and whoever will be selected in the All-Star game will be the elite, the creme de la creme of sorts in Pinoy high school hoops.

With that in mind, here's the official press release of the Seaoil High School All-Star game on March 4, 2012 (courtesy of Mr. Rick Olivares):
