Wesley Gonzalez with the ceremonial TossTrue to its word in trying to discover and develop new talents, the 9th STI Basketball Showdown opened last January 31, 2009 amidst a throng of STI students who watched. Eight teams will slug it out for the honors to become the best team for STI. Three time defending champion DLS-STI E. Rodriguez will find the field tough as they lead the field of 8 teams vying to become this year's champion. One of the favored teams this year are opening day winners STI College Balagtas, STI College Global City, STI College Las Piñas and STI College Parañaque.
The beautiful muses of the teams, whose your pick?The festivities also had the much awaited play between the new set of Olympians and the core of the 2007 STI College Olympians that won the NAASCU title. Unfortunately for the new Olympians, the experience of their elder counterparts were more evident than the fast running new look Olympians.

To the 9th STI Basketball Showdown I do hope new faces will be discovered enroute to players making it as an STI Olympian. It has happened before and we hope it can also happen again.
