Posted on Dec 06 2006
The countdown for 2007 season of the yearly Mobil Oil Marianas Invitational Co-ed Basketball League has barely begun and yet organizers behind the Commonwealth’s only co-ed basketball league are already starting preparations.
Mobil cage league coordinator Marvin Deocares is calling on all participating teams to send representatives for today’s organizational meeting set at Aqua Resort Club’s Raraina Restaurant at 12pm.
Team representatives from defending champion Aqua Resort, Fiesta Resort & Spa Saipan, Hyatt Regency Saipan, Microl Corp., Commonwealth Utilities Corp., Commonwealth Ports Authority, McDonald’s, Saipan Ice & Water Co., host Mobil, and newcomers Saipan World Resort and Joeten Enterprises are required to attend the meeting.
The Mobil co-ed basketball league was formed in 2001 to give the giant oil company a venue to fellowship with its client companies.
Since its inaugural season, the cagefest has grown in popularity and has attracted a following made up mostly of employees and staff of teams participating in league.
It has even survived the demise of league pioneer team Pacific Development Inc. (the 2003 champion) and that year’s second runner-up Pacific Island Aviation.
Last year, Aqua Resort leaned on its stratospheric frontline and bench depth to defeat pennant champion Microl in a one-game finals, 97-81.
The Mobil crown was previously worn by THC (2001), Microl (2002), PDI (2003), Aqua Resort Club (2004), and Fiesta Resort (2005).
