Games Sunday, Jan. 17

2:00 pm—Red vs. White

3:30 pm—Black vs. Green

The league-leading Blacks seek for a fourth straight win on Sunday against a dangerous Green squad at the resumption of the Mayor Rody and Inday Sara Cup Inter-Media basketball tournament at the Almendras Gym.

The Blacks, who masterfully escaped with a 115-114 double overtime win against the Reds last Sunday, will be hoping to stretch their winning run to four and keep its one game lead over the Reds and the Greenies which both tote a 2-2 win-loss card.

The hard-luck Reds hope to bounce back from that painful loss to the Blacks as they collide with the cellar-dwelling Whites (1-3) in the first game of the Sunday twinbill.

A muffed free throw by burly forward Jun Suter of DXGO with no time left handed the Blacks the victory over the Reds. GMA’s Jun Digamon waxed hot for the Blacks with five triples and a game-high 29 for Team Black but it was ABS-CBN’s Allan Abais’ two free throws that put the Blacks on top for good at 115-113, 8 ticks left in the second extension.

Suter drove for the basket and missed but he was fouled on the process as time expired. With no time left and two cracks to tie the game, Suter can only come halfway close to that.

Against the Greenies, the Blacks will have to come out in full force with Digamon, Orlanes and Abais along with Jun Bersamin on the firing end. The Greens will rely on the dangerous duo of Carl Eric “Idol Dagul” Alindao of MOR and Boom Boom Jerios of GMA along with Jon Develos of Mindanao Times.

The Reds meantime will have their hands full against the high-scoring Philip Tumaroy of the Whites. Leading the charge for the Reds will again be the Bruise Brothers combi of Rico Jones Biliran and Suter with slippery Terver “Inday Tanini” Quillano. (NJB, City Sports)

It all came down to the battle of free throws and the Blacks just had the touch and a little bit of luck. Reds forward DXAB anchorman Allan Abais canned two free throws with 8 seconds left in the second overtime but the Blacks’ Bruise Brothers of Rico Jones Biliran and Jun Suter weren’t as lucky from the same distance when it really mattered.



In the end, those free throws decided an otherwise tightly-fought contest for the Blacks who snatched a 115-114 double overtime win over the Reds on January 10 in the Mayor Rody and Inday Sara Cup Inter-Media basketball tournament at the Almendras Gym.



The burly Biliran, who had a game-high 29 points, muffed a crucial free throw with 14 seconds left in the second overtime after baiting a foul and connecting on a drive to tie the score at 114-all. He had all worked it up from the back of his mind after missing what could have been a game-winner in the first OT, but his free throw rimmed out. Abais was fouled in the next play with 8 ticks left and calmly sank his freebies to put the Blacks on top 115-113.



In the final play, Love Radio’s Suter picked up his own miss but was fouled as time expired. With no time left, Suter went to the line for a pair of charities as both teams stood anxiously from the sidelines. Suter sank the first but missed the second that could have sent the game to a third OT.



The Blacks now lead the four-team tourney devoted to media practitioners in the city with a 3-1 win-loss slate. The Reds dropped to 2-2 in a tie with the Greens which beat the Whites earlier, 81-79. The Whites dropped to 1-3.



Boom Boom Jerios of GMA fired 27 points and Carl Eric “Idol Dagul” Alindao of MOR added 24 to lead the Greenies. Percy Penoliar of ABS-CBN sizzled with 41 points for the Whites in a losing effort. (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)

League-leaders CMO and Kolin-Emcor part ways on Friday night to determine the top Group qualifier at the close of eliminations in the 1st Inday Sara-RVAI Invitational Cup basketball tournament at the Rivera Village Covered Court.

The match was originally scheduled Tuesday but heavy rains forced the postponement of the highly-anticipated match between two of the league’s remaining unbeaten squads.

The Air Condition Specialists are spotless with a 3-0 win-loss slate in Group A, the same record toted by the Mayor’s Men. Although the two teams are already assured of the Group’s berths to the crossover semis, the winner of the match will take the top spot and will meet the no. 2 team in Group B.

CMO will be relying on the return of sweet-shooting Bong Go, the mayor’s executive assistant, who missed CMO’s last outing against Wind and Wave. They will also bank on a solid back-up crew composed of Jason Tan, Dioven Braga, Boyet Brigoli and Bong Aleman.

The tournament is sponsored by Vice Mayor Inday Sara Duterte through the City Sports Development Office and the Rivera Village Association, Inc.

Meantime, RVAI Committee chairman Jet Calma announced that there will be an exhibition match between the RVAI Selection and the Sports For Peace squad made up mostly of sports media and officials.

“This early, we would like to express our thanks to Vice Mayor Indaya Sara Duterte for the support she has extended to our tournament. Hopefully, she can make it during the awarding ceremonies,” said Calma.(pr)
