The exhibition game between Team Crossfire USA and Team Olaso led by Mayor Khymer Olaso Tuesday night at the Vitaliano Agan coliseum was a celebration beyond sport, unity and joy of bringing people together through basketball and faith.

The visiting Crossfire USA team dominated the game with a 132-81 win. The game was an event with great teamwork and sportsmanship, drawing cheers from the crowd.

During halftime, instead of the usual entertainment, such as free throw or half-court shot challenges, Team Crossfire USA took a unique and heartfelt approach. The team paused the action to share their faith and spread the Word of God to the audience. In a powerful display of purpose beyond sport, they reminded everyone that their mission extends far beyond basketball, aiming to inspire lives spiritually as well.

Thank you Crossfire Philippines for the opportunity and we hope to see you again in Zamboanga, soon!
