They are Dennis Dave Cosina and Jayson Mama of Dadiangas North High School and Chris Russu Laurente of Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Colleges of Gensan.

Their two other teammates from Region12 are Kenneth Equinan of Libertad National High School of Surallah and Richard Sequino of Polomolok NHS of South Cotabato.
