Brgy.Watabe rules Inday Sara women’s cagefest

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.
Rizal-Boulevard (67)- Pabia 33, Millondaga 14, Gaviola 10, Mondido 8, G.Ymaz 2, L.Ymaz 1.

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 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)
