Holy Trinity College of Gen.Santos City earned the ticket to the Zonal Finals in Cebu after ruling the Mindanao Finals of the 2009 Philippine Collegiate Champion’s League/Duterte Basketball League, October 8, at the Gaisano South Sky gym.
With eight seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, Meylan Landicho stole the ball from Southern City College of Zamboanga’s John Wayne Pagobo then got fouled to seal the victory for Holy Trinity against the hard-fighting Zamboanguenos, 96-92.
Paulino Rebollos Jr., who led Southern City College with 39 points, hit a three-point shot to slice Holy Trinity’s lead, 92-94, eight seconds left but the Zamboanguenos lost the chance to equalize the game.
“Tsamba lang talaga, hindi nga maganda ang laro ng mga bata, na pagod kami against Ateneo de Davao last Wednesday,” said coach Apolinar Torrijos.
The victory made team manager Rey T. Albano smile as they will represent Mindanao to the Zonals on November 4 to 8 in Cebu.

Kevin Jolan Pragados, Rafael Lape, Wendy Versoza, John Rey Masana, Paul James de Mesa, Eric Ram Lamanilao, Ray Anthonette de Leon, Reymar Roxas, Christopher Masaglang, Eddie Gosanes Jr., Bryan Charielle Esguerra, Elcar Jick Gabutan and Don Arturo Desaville will also take a break and will be back for practice in a week for the Zonals.

Dabawenyos outlast Zamboanguenos, 86-58
CHAMPION’S LEAGUE/DBL
Dabawenyos outlast Zamboanguenos, 86-58
Davao City’s Ateneo de Davao University outlasted Southern City College of Zamboanga City, 86-58 at the start of the 2009 Philippine Collegiate Champion’s League/Duterte Basketball League Mindanao Finals, Tuesday afternoon, at the Gaisano South Sky gym.
The Blue Knights, winner of the Davao City eliminations at the expense of multi-titled University of Mindanao, started slow but found their chemistry in the final half to pull away.
Coach Cholo Elegino was even surprised with the outcome of the score when he asked his injured player Miguel Solitaria. “I am surprised with the score but we just made the correct adjustments,” said Elegino.
Southern City College of Zamboanga was the National PRISAA Champion in 2005 and 2008 but its top players have trooped to Manila where the big tournaments are organized. “But majority of the players are still there. Luckily, we had a good start,” added Elegino.
Richard Madelo topscored for Ateneo with 20 points while Jaybee Porlares led Zamboanga with 22 baskets.
Holy Trinity College of Gen.Santos City is still playing Cagayan de Oro College of Cagayan de Oro City in the second game as of press time.

by philippinebasketballleague.org (10/1908)
If the number is use as an indication, then the Women’s Philippine Basketball League (WPBL) – back after almost a decade of absence – will be a lot more fun and exciting this year.
A total of 125 aspirants – some of them coming as far as Cebu – showed up during the open tryout held yesterday at the Jose Rizal University gym in Mandaluyong City which is a clear manifestation that women’s basketball is still alive and kicking in the country.
PBL officials, led by Commissioner Chino Trinidad, Deputy Commissioner Tommy Ong, Executive Director Butch Maniego and chairman Mikee Romero of Harbour Centre were very satisfied with the turnout of the one-day tryout supervised by Joey Guanio and Jigs Mendoza.
“The number of participants is a good indication of what to expect in the coming tournament. If only we have 20 teams for the coming tournament then we can accommodate them all,” said Romero, the man responsible for the revival of the event. “Halos lahat nagpakita ng galling para makasama sa WPBL.”
“With this number of aspirants, we have a bright future ahead when it comes to women’s basketball. It’s really my dream to win both the men’s and women’s divisions in the SEA Games,” added Romero.
Also present were Patrick “Pato” Gregorio of Smart Sports under the company of telecommunication mogul Manny V. Pangilinan, Haydee Ong of Nutri-C under the company of Jun Sy of Nokia, Pat Aquino of Ever Bilena, Chito Narvasa and Tanny Gonzales of Muscle Tape-Lyceum and representatives from Discovery Suite, Pharex, Bacchus Energy Drink and Oracle Residence.
Trinidad and Romero will announce today the final composition of the tournament today.
“We see at least 10 teams competiting in the coming tournament. But I hope our other regular members will take part in the next conference,” said Trinidad.
Maniego said the drafting of the players will be held either on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Champions League: UM rips RMC in crucial game, 95-82
Edgar Awitin (holding the ball), who did play in the first two games, sees action in the third game for the University of Mindanao against the Rizal Memorial Colleges in the 2008 Champions League-Davao Eliminations, Sunday night, at the Davao City Recreation Center. UM won, 95-82.
The University of Mindanao Wildcats made the adjustments at the start of the second quarter to rip the Rizal Memorial Colleges Bulldogs, 95-82 in the 2008 Champions League-Davao Eliminations, Sunday night, at the Davao City Recreation Center.
Arnold Adormeo led the Wildcats, who trailed in the first quarter 19-22, with 20 points and Edgar Awitin added 18 baskets while Mohaliden Distancia topscored for the losing side with 26 points.
The Wildcats clinched their second win in three outings and tied the top post with Emar College but will be relegated to the No.2 spot in Group A based on the team that beats the other rule. Emar defeated the Wildcats on opening day, 86-79.
Bulldogs coach Marlon Lucnagan protested the entry of the veteran Awitin in the crucial third game pointing out that the UM player did not play in the first two games particularly against Emar College where they lost. “Wala sya sa line-up,” said Lucnagan.
UM sports director Joaquin “Boy” Sarabia, however, said that there was nothing wrong with the entry of Awitin in the crucial third game because during their meeting, it was agreed that teams are allowed to submit even up to 20 players as long as they follow the 15 to play rule.
In group B, the Jose Maria College Kings and Agro-Industrial Foundation College Sailors will also be playing crucial games to determine the rankings before going to the semifinal round of the tournament supported by Mayor Rodrigo R. Duterte and Vice Mayor Sara Z. Duterte and sanctioned by BAP-Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas Regional Director Regino “Boy” Cua.
The Davao champion will advance to the Regional Area finals against South Cotabato, Sarangani, Gen.Santos City and Maguindanao teams.
The scores:
University of Mindanao (95)- Adormeo 20, Awitin 18, Mendoza 14, Fernandez 11, Rosauro 7, Cesniros 5, Galacgac 3, Angalan 2, Apurada 2, Barbieros 2.
Rizal Memorial Colleges (82)- Distancia 26, Planas 23, Rodriguez 13, Gabatan 6, Bayang 4, Neri 3, Ydulzura 3, Abao 2.
