Brgy.Watabe recovered from a slow start to defeat the Rizal-Boulevard Team, 81-67 in the Inday Sara Women’s Basketball Tournament, recently, at the Davao City Police Office court.
Amy Gueta, the tournament’s most valuable player, fired 24 points to lead Brgy.Watabe to victory.
Mera Pabia of Rizal-Boulevard, who topscored with 33 points, tried to rally her teammates but she lost steam in the final quarter where Brgy.Watabe outscored them, 20-12.
Pabia scored from all sides of the court at the start of the first half but the bigger Jessie Sabaricos, Debbie Joey Obiena, Cheryl Bueno, who canned in 21 baskets, and Gueta controlled the boards when she started missing the shots.
Sabaricos, recruited by the University of Sto.Tomas team after helping University of Mindanao win the National PRISAA crown in 2004, helped more in the rebounding and drilled in 17 more points to secure the win.
Brgy.L.Garcia placed third after beating Brgy.5-A, 56-43.
Tournament director Alberto Malinao awarded the prizes to the winners.
The scores:
Brgy.Watabe (81)- Gueta 24, Bueno 21, Sabaricos 17, Lizondra 8, Ondoy 8, Obiena 2.

Talents abound in Nokia NBTC D-League
Extensive talent identification camps were conducted by the organizers to help participating teams determine the players who will join their rosters in the ongoing Nokia National Basketball Training Center (NBTC) D-League.
Nokia NBTC D-League director Eric Altamirano and training director Alex Compton said they were impressed by the player turnout that the 18-and-under league, under the Samahang Basketball ng Pilipinas (SBP) headed by Manny Pangilinan and executive director Noli Eala, had to increase its roster to 108 teams this year.
“Basketball talents abound the country and these players are usually diamonds-in-the rough who need training and a competitive environment to improve on their skills. That’s why we increased the number of teams this year,”said Altamirano and Compton on the league primarily backed by Nokia Philippines and TAO Corporation with San Miguel Pure Foods Company, Smart Communications and Burlington as major sponsors.
Altamirano said the league is blessed to have so many players willing to try out for spots, that the competition becomes very intense.”The good thing about these talent identification camps is that these give an objective view on what players the teams need and which ones would fit the program for the long term.”
Talent identification camps or TICs were already held in La Union, Cavite (Dasmarinas, General Trias and Bacoor), Laguna (Calamba), Cagayan de Oro, Iligan, Leyte (Ormoc and Tacloban), Davao, Cebu, General Santos, Iloilo, Bacolod, Bohol, Zamboanga, Dumaguete and Butuan.
Altamirano said they expect the total participants in these TICs in 32 areas to reach 5,760. He said that 180 players from each area broken down into those born in 1992 (60), 1993 (60) and 1994 (60) have joined these TICs.
“Although we increased the number of teams, we might not have enough slots for everybody in the Nokia D-League, said Altamirano.”But this is always in keeping up with our aim to be the feeder program for higher leagues in the future.”
Altamirano is referring to leagues like the NCAA, UAAP, Philippine Basketball League (PBL), Philippine Basketball Association (PBA), Liga Pilipinas and future national teams.

PRO XI wins RRD-SZD/AFP-PNP cage title
PRO XI wins RRD-SZD/AFP-PNP cage title
The Police Regional Office XI did not slow down in the fourth quarter to clinch Game 3 against the City Mayor’s Office, 79-73 en route to winning the Mayor Rody Duterte and Vice Mayor Sara Duterte/AFP-PNP Basketball Tournament crown, Thursday, at the Davao City Recreation Center
Rob Palomares and Anthony Padua led the scoring charge in the last canto to seal the victory against CMO of Bong Go who could no longer find the winning formula as their guns cooled down in the dying minutes.
Ariel Bonleon missed a three-point attempt that could have tied the game at 76-all in the last 25 seconds and Cadel Mosqueda fouled Padua who converted two free throws, 78-73 with 21 seconds left.
And time was no longer on CMO’s side.
Go and Roy Bangkas combined for 20 points in the first quarter but they could no longer find their range in the final half. Go could only muster eight points and seven from Bangkas.
The boys of team captain Ronald dela Rosa blasted in the final minutes, kept on running
and continued to dominate the rebounding department.
“We followed our game plan. CMO’s strength is in the first half and when we saw that they were slowing down in the final half, we did our job to keep on running,scoring and rebounding,” said dela Rosa.
Dela Rosa made no mistake when he kept on calling Dominic delos Reyes as MVP when organizers awarded the pointguard the most valuable player award.
“Mo dala man gud siya sa dula, so MVP siya,” he said.
The scores:
PRO XI (79)- Rob Palomares 22 points, Simbulas 16, Padua 13, Awitin 8, Tugade 8, Ong 4, Rabanes 3, delos Reyes 3, Josol 2, Jaca 0, Coronel 0, Zozobrado 0, Gaffud 0, dela Rosa 0.
CMO (73)- Bong Go 22, Bangkas 18, Mosqueda 12, Braga 9, Gadiano 6, Bonleon 2, Mondigo 2, Escoton 2, Labor 0, Pastor 0, Escorido 0, Alquizar 0, Aleman 0, Duremdes 0.
Scores per quarter: 16-22, 17-23, 26-18, 20-10.

CMO takes Game 2, evens series
AFP-PNP FINALS
CMO takes Game 2, evens series
A rejuvenated CMO squad made sure there would be no awarding ceremonies last Saturday, much less one that would crown their rivals from the PNP Regional Office XI as champions. To make that happen, they played like a champion and finished like a champion.
And so it will now boil down to one final battle in Game 3. No more tomorrows, no more awarding postponements. It’s either you or me for the Mayor’s Men and PRO XI in the deciding game of the Mayor Rody and IndaySara 7th AFP-PNP basketball tournament best-of-three finals.
Game 2 ended with CMO staying alive with a 99-88 win and will take a psychological edge going into the winner-take-all Game 3 on Thursday morning (10:00 a.m.) at the Almendras Gym.
Christopher “Bong” Go managed to wiggle out of the suffocating defense of the PNP men and rain 4 trifectas in a big second quarter uprising that quelled a major rally by PRO XI. He had five triples in the game and a day-high 23 to bail CMO out of trouble early before going to the bench in the last 6 minutes of the final canto to allow the “Triple B” wrecking crew of Roy Bangkas, Dioven Braga and Ariel Bonleon to finish off their Catitipan-based rivals.
The troika combined for 48 points in the game while big man Mondigo added 13 to anchor a balanced CMO offensive.
“Nakaadjust dayon mi karon unlike sa Game 1. They played good defense pero nakapangandam mi karon sa ilaha ug mayo,” said CMO coach Roy Josol.
Go, hounded by his guards in the perimeter where he is a deadshot, had a hard time extricating himself early. With the leech-like guarding, he failed to score in the first period but found his range in the second to keep the PNP men at bay.
Delos Reyes fired 21, Palomares added 18 and Simbulas had 15 in a losing effort. (NJB-City Sports)

Nokia D-League to help coaches
Over a hundred local coaches will also benefit from the several workshops during the Nokia National Basketball Training Center (NBTC) D-League that will start December 6, Sunday, at the Jacinto Tiu Gym of the Xavier Sports Center.
NBTC Director Eric Altamirano said it is his personal desire to also help the coaches improve on their skills in the tournament backed by Nokia Pilipinas and TAO Corporation under the Samahang Basketball ng Pilipinas headed by Manny Pangilinan and executive director Noli Eala.
“We coaches are always getting requests for workshops at these areas. And the Nokia NBTC allows these coaches to learn and immediately pass on and utilize their skills in a competitive tournament environment,” Altamirano said about the tournament backed by San Miguel Purefoods Company Inc., Smart Communications and Burlington.
B-MEG Feeds will support teams in Manila, Batangas, Pampanga, Baguio, Cebu, Bohol, Cagayan de Oro, Bicol, Davao and Bacolod. Magnolia will back teams from Baguio, Iloilo, Davao and Parañaque.
Purefoods-Hormel will be the name for some teams in Pampanga and Batangas while San Mig Coffee joins one team belonging to Pasig/Mandaluyong. Another corporate giant in Smart will be the banner for at least one team in each of the 13 regions as Burlington will carry three teams.
Altamirano said the coaches are trained under a unified and unique format that is inculcated constantly during the practices of the teams until the tournament’s culmination in May.
“This is to ensure that the necessary skills are being taught. The first priority in the Nokia NBTC D-League is always to develop the players for the future,” added Altamirano, who said the practices are to be monitored by NBTC training director Alex Compton.
Practices under the Nokia NBTC environment stress on basketball fundamentals, the repetition of good habits off and on the court and the team game aside from affiliated topics like nutrition.
This is geared towards the tournament’s goal to be a feeder program for varsity squads and teams catering to leagues such as the UAAP, NCAA, Philippine Basketball League, Philippine Basketball Association and the Liga Pilipinas.
Coaches expected to benefit from the program are from La Union, Olongapo (under Sen. Richard Gordon), Tarlac, Cavite, Palawan, Butuan, Antipolo, San Juan, Baguio, Pampanga, Batangas, Laguna, Lucena, Bicol, Iloilo, Bacolod, Cebu, Bohol, Dumaguete, Ormoc, GenSan, Davao, Cagayan, Iligan, Zamboanga, Manila, Quezon City, Caloocan, Marikina, Pasay/Makati/Taguig, Paranaque and Las Pinas/Muntinlupa.

Muslim All-Stars enter finals,begin series with CMO on Friday
The Muslim All-Stars walked through the tightrope before hacking out a 108-99 victory over a tough LTO squad and arrange a best-of-five finale against early finalist CMO which begins on Friday at the Davao City Recreation Center.
At stake is the prestigious Inday Sara Cup offered by Vice Mayor Inday Sara Duterte and the cash kitty that goes with the champion. Game 1 is set at 5:30 p.m.
Ming Distancia fired 27 points to lead the All-Stars while Modjer Sangsangan added 22 markers as the duo hit timely conversions in the endgame to quell the LTO uprising. High-flying Jerry Caminade led all scorers with 30 and slotman Allan Ardenio contributed 16 for the LTO men who were frustrated in their bid to barge into the finals.
Friday’s championship will be a grudge rematch of the tightly-contested series between the two teams who also locked horns last month in a winner-take-all series won by CMO in three matches.
“We always look forward to meeting the All-Stars because it is always a tough match,” said Christopher “Bong” Go, the Mayor’s executive assistant who will be a marked man the moment he steps into the floor.
Sangsangan and Distancia will be at the forefront of the All-Stars attack while the Mayor’s Men will count on the Triple B connection of Roy Bangkas, Dioven Braga and Ariel Bonleon. (NJB-City Sports)

LAGUNA WINS, FORCES RUBBER MATCH WITH TAGUIG
TAGUIG CITY – The visiting sixth seed Trace-Laguna Stallions forced a winner-take-all game for the last seat in this weekend’s Super Leg by upsetting fifth seed Forward Taguig, 83-79, in their Smart Liga Pilipinas Conference III Wild Card game Tuesday evening at the C. P. Tinga Memorial Hall.
With their conference on the line, the Stallions of Atty. Erwin Genuino and Coach Nomar banked on the combined 15 fourth period points of guard Alex Angeles and the returning Leo Losentes plus crucial baskets by Alfie Grijaldo to pull off the victory and remain in the hunt for the last remaining seat in next week's Liga SuperLeg National Finals.
With Taguig constantly threatening, Grijaldo, Angeles and Losentes banged in a triple each that erected an 81-74 Stallions advantage with 1:13 to play. Angeles and Losentes then split their separate trips to the free throw each to ensure the win at the 41-second mark. Jeff Sanders settled the final tally with the game’s final five points.
Angeles, RB Mangahas and Ron Capati gave Laguna their biggest lead of the contest, 43-33, early in the third period. Taguig of Mayor Freddie R. Tinga and Coach Bing Victoria slowly closed in, with Michael Gonzales giving them the lead for the first time via a three-point play with 8:16 remaining in the final canto, 58-56.
After a deadlock and four lead changes, Grijaldo followed a Jan Villaver triple with a basket that gave the Stallions the lead for good, 68-67, and 3:59 to play. A good first period worked wonders for the Stallions as Capati and Rob Sanz quickly found their scoring touch for a 19-14 advantage.
“Cebu City, we’re getting there,” said an exhausted Coach Isla. “After the Apayao Leg, we held team meetings and the team vowed to work very hard at practice as we prepared for Taguig.” Taguig’s twice-to-beat advantage is now history and both coaches have less than 24 hours to make adjustments for the rubber match to be held still at Tinga Hall.
Angeles had a good all-around game with 14 points, six rebounds and five assists in 34 minutes of play. Sanz followed with 12 points. Sanders paced Taguig with 22 points while Nino Marquez chipped in 14.
The five-team Super Leg is scheduled for November 22 to 29 at the New Cebu Coliseum and will determine the next Liga Pilipinas National Champion. Already earning their tickets are the undefeated M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala-Cebu Ninos, Smart-Pampanga Buddies, Quezon Red Oilers and the defending National Champion Misamis Oriental Meteors.

CMO drubs PRO-XI 95-72, sweeps elims
City Mayor’s Office completed a sweep of the eliminations but this last win did not come all too easy.
The league-leading Mayor’s Men ran smack into a tough Police Regional Office-XI quintet that fought tooth and nail to the end but came out with enough ammunition to eke out a 95-72 win for its eighth win and a sweep of the elimination phase in Group A of the Mayor Rody and Inday Sara 7th PNP-AFP Basketball Tournament over the weekend at the Almendras Gym.
Streak-shooting Christopher “Bong” Go was shadowed throughout the match but he was able to burry some from his favorite area beyond the arc including one from near the halfcourt mark before the end of the first half and a rare four-point play in the third canto for a game-high 28 points.
“This is the toughest game we played. They were very physical in defense,” said Go after the match.
Former pro Dindo Pastor added 19 markers including five triples while daredevil Roy Bangkas chipped in 13.
The Mayor’s Men erected a huge lead that ballooned to 38-17 midway in the second canto with Go and the Triple B connection of Bangkas, Dioven Braga and Ariel Bonleon conspiring with slotman Cadel Mosqueda and Pastor.
Archie Zozobrado led the PRO-XI side with 23 as they dropped to 3-1.
In other games, RMG continued its winning ways with a masterful 116-91 massacre of Philippine Coast Guard for their fourth straight win in as many games in Group B. PCG dropped to 0-4. Special Action Force also kept abreast with a 4-0 card after blasting East Mincom (0-4) 116-98. (NJB-City Sports)

RMG, CMO nail second win in AFP-PNP caging
Defending champion Regional Mobile Group and chief rival City Mayor's Office demolished their respective foes on Saturday for their second win in as many outings to stay on top in the Mayor Rody and Inday Sara 7th PNP-AFP basketball tournament at the Almendras Gym.
RMG turned back BJMP 104-83 to keep track with the Mayor's Men who were again devastating in blasting the visiting Compostela Valley Police Provincial Office 113-91.
CMO relied on a balanced offensive anchored on the sweet-shooting guard Bong Go and the emerging “Triple B” troika of Roy Bangkas, Ariel Bonleon and big man Dioven Braga. Already a marked man in every outing for his torrid shooting, Go has developed a new arsenal—a running tear drop off a fake from his favorite spot beyond the arc, or pass off to an open teammate. This was evident in their first two games as Go has scored a little less than usual, 25 against ComVal, but his teammates were left open a lot often. The Triple B connection of Bangkas, Bonleon and Braga combined for 34.
Ike Estampa led ComVal with 17 markers in a losing effort.
In other games, Philippine Air Force (1-0) dealt Coast Guard is second straight setback 83-77, PNP-National Support Unit (1-0) defeated Philippine Navy (0-1) 73-69, and Bureau of Fire (1-1) upset DCPO 90-86 (1-1).
The seventh edition of the tournament is supported by Mayor Rodrigo Duterte and Vice Mayor Inday Sara Duterte. The champion of the tourney will receive P300,000, first runner-up P200,000, third runner-up 100,000 and fourth runner-up P50,000. (NJB-City Sports)
