Executives annex 17th Season title

Christopher “Bong” Go sparked a scoring run for the Executives in Game 6 to wrap up the 2008 Executive-Legislative Basketball Tournament-17th Season, four games to two, recently, at the Montana gym.

Go, Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte’s executive assistant, kept on sniping from the outside and teammates Ariel Bonleon and Melchor Gadiano stepped up with the rest of the Executive squad to trounce the Legislators led by Councilor Diosdado Mahipus, 105-100.

Mahipus and his teammates started to go strong to the basket in the final quarter but the Executives re-organized well to disappoint again their rivals.

The Executives protected a small lead, 29-27 in the first quarter but played consistently in the second and third quarters to keep the Legislators at bay.

The scores:

Executives (105)- Bong Go 19, Escoton 18, Bonleon 15, Escorido 15, Gadiano 13, Alquizar 10, Labor 8, Ortega 5.

Legislators (100)- Montalban 35, de Guzman 20, Mahipus 13, Araneta 10, Plarisan 10, Acero 6, Casan 6.
