Manila Philippines, April 8, 2024-  The Red Bull Half Court Qualifiers in Davao came to an exciting end in a contest of skill and determination. The men's division was controlled by the Blancas Golden Knights and the women's division was dominated by Coaches Corner, who commanded the court with remarkable skill and tenacity. The best of Davao's streetball scene was on display at the event, which also saw the city's first-ever Red Bull Half Court champions emerge from buzzer-beaters and jaw-dropping crossovers.

Emerging talents made a lasting impression on the court and laid the groundwork for an exciting future. The Davao teams who win move on to the National Qualifiers, where they will compete against other regional winners from all around the nation as well as professional player-filled wildcard teams to up the ante on competition.  

“We worked so hard to prepare for this league, and we made sure to stay focused throughout each game and not become complacent. Also, we leave it up to God to strengthen our determination to win,” expressed Blanca on how they prepared for the Red Bull Half Court Davao Qualifiers.
