Third Game

TAMING THE LIONS

The CitiAire Lions might want to go back into the second quarter as they review how they lost a tight one as Apec Cardinals squeezed a win against them 46-44 Saturday night..

Macaraeg (6) led the Apec with team best 14 points, 7 boards and Teves (16) helped out with 10 points grabbing 3 rebounds as they capitalized the second quarter with 13-7 advantage.

The second quarter also proved to be the downside for the CitiAire Lions as Calaud (34), the only player to score in the quarter contributing 7 of his 11 points. Reposo (0) was the main gunner for the CitiAire with 15 points, 2 rebounds and 2 steals.

Proving that this was a close match when in terms of team stats, CitiAire collected 26 rebounds compared to 21 for Apec. Three of CitiAire's players pulled 5 rebounds apiece; Pelayo (17), Limboy (32) and Gestat (4). In assists, the Cardinals edged Lions with a slim margin 3 to 2, as well as in steals 11 to 9. In the blocks department, CitiAire were able to mark 4 rejections compared to none for the Apec squad.

Second Game

MEAN and MERCILESS!!!

This one was over before many fans had even settled into their seats. Like a seasoned "wolf hunter", the DMCI Means took no prisoner when they beat FIGUEROA Wolves, 84 - 30.

The DMCI Means had proven their capability in the second quarter on Saturday night, expanding a 13-point lead to 33 and helping the “Means” coast to an 84-30 victory over Figueroa “Wolves” for their most lopsided win of the tournament. Almost all of the starters scored at least 8 points while their bench provided the additional lift.

The DMCI “Means” looked very much like a fresh team, as Jegan (8) had a team best 20 points and grabbing 7 rebounds while Pagaspas (17) also poured in 3 of his 18 points in the first quarter as the “Means” blew out the “Wolves” right from the start, racing to a 13-point lead in the first quarter on the way to a 54 point rout.

Mhel (14) was a true force for the DMCI inside scoring 16 points, pulling a team best 15 boards, 2 assists and 3 steals for the “Means” while his team also dominated their counterpart pulling down 42 boards against 25 for the “Wolves”. DMCI also edged the Figueroa team in assist as they dish out 8 compared to none for the “Wolves”.

Figueroa (13), the bright spot for the “Wolves” connecting on 4 three pointers on his way to team best 16 points. The “Wolves” were the ones hounded by the pesky “Means” as DMCI picked their pocket 11 times compared to only 5 steals for the Figueroa Team.

Box Scores:

DMCI “Means” - 84: Jegan (8) – 20 pts, Pagaspas (17) – 18 pts, Mhel (14) – 16 pts, Ching (5) – 8 pts, Alvaro (6) – 8 pts, Jomel (2) – 6 pts, Jabonete (21) – 4 pts, Thong (3) – 4 pts.

FIGUEROA “Wolves” - 30: Figueroa (13) – 16 pts, Figueroa (17) – 6 pts, Guaves (19) – 4 pts, Figueroa (3) – 2 pts, Cruz (5) – 2 pts.

Quarter Scores: 21-8, 22-2, 23-18, 18-8

First Game

The Achievers . . . . With A Vengeance

54 must be a number that The Achievers found hard to forget when they dominated the Grabtech Managers, 81 - 54, and posted their first win against two outings.

It was that kind of night for the Integrated Innovators.

Labao (11) led the “The Achievers” scoring 33 points, Hambre (4) and De Jesus (8) had 24 and 18 points respectively as the Integrated set a season high for points, beating the Grabtech, 81-54 on their Saturday game.

Hambre (4) was relentless and came up with a complete game scoring 24 points, 4 rebound, 9 assists, 4 steals and a block as Intergrated led by as many as 24 points in the first quarter and avenged a 74-54 loss from SOGO All-Stars last July 16.

Grabtech's own "One-Two Punch" consisting of Cerda (22) and Boston (23) cannot stop the surging I.I. Achievers. Boston (23) netted a double-double scoring 14 points and 11 rebounds while Cerda led the team in scoring with 19 points and grabing 7 rebounds. They were, however, edged badly in the assist department as Hambre (4) of Integrated dished a tournament high 9 assists compared to only 2 assist for Grabtech as a team.

Integrated also used their pesky defense in controlling the game resulting to 11 steals compared to 4 for Grabtech. In the second half, Grabtech managed to somehow contain the Achievers, but they still failed to trim the lead down as they scored 31 compared to 35 for Integrated.


Box Scores:

Integrated Innovators “The Achievers” - 81: Labao (11) – 33 pts, Hambre (4) – 24 pts, de Jesus (08) – 10 pts, Lincopines (88) – 6 pts, Fuderanan (09) – 4 pts, Barena (18) – 2 pts, Ita-as (13) – 2 pts.

Grabtech “Managers” - 54: Cerda (22) – 19 pts, Boston (23) – 14 pts, Go (16) – 10 pts, Dumalaon (32) – 7 pts, Bagat (12) – 2 pts, Rodriguez (8) – 2 pts.

Quarter Scores: 30-6; 16-17; 14-9; 21-22.

FORMIDABLE!!

SOGO All Stars stormed past Integrated Innovators Achievers: 74 – 54
SOGO All Stars once again proved its basketball invincibility in this tournament when they beat Integrated Innovators Achievers in last Saturday's lone game. The Achievers failed to put a mark in the win column on their debut game despite the combined firepower of their 1 – 2 punch, Labao (11) and Hambre (4). All Stars fortified their defense early in the second quarter to dampen the offensive thrust of the Achievers and maintained comfortable lead until the final buzzer. Achievers' Labao tried to reduce the All Stars lead by firing from beyond the arc and converting 5 triples but they fell short in capitalizing on their 21 rebounds when they found the All Stars towering defense too tough to penetrate.
Labao and Hambre combined for 46 points out of the Achievers' total production of 54 points. Their offensive pattern, however, became too tentative and was significantly limited by the All Stars' 6 steals and 5 shot blocks.

Better ball distribution and shot selection complemented the All Stars' defense, winning them their second game convincingly by 20 points.

Box score:
SOGO All Stars: 74 Cruz (24) – 12, Guasis (13) – 10, Cabrera (08) – 9, Morales (21) – 9, Corpuz (11) – 7, Lagajino (17) – 7, Simo (22) – 6, Manuel (03) – 6, Solis (06) – 4, Ilao (00) – 4
Rebounds: 20, Assists: 9, Steals: 6, Blocks: 5, Three-points: 2

Integrated Innovators The Achievers: 54 Labao (11) – 28, Hambre (04) – 18, Linconpines (88) – 7, Fuderanan (09) – 1
Rebounds: 21, Assists: 6, Steals: 3, Blocks: 3, Three-points: 6

First Game
Romago Thunders flashes pass V. Consunji Beeradors and won by 2 points: 54 – 52

True to its name, Romago Thunders executed lightning fast-break play and sneaked past hot shooting V. Consunji Beeradors. Beeradors maintained the lead for most of the regulation period through prolific shooting from beyond the arc by their designated sniper, De Leon (12), who drilled-in seven treys. However, the persistent Thunders kept coming back and capitalizing through their balanced offense. At the dying seconds of the final canto, Allapa (10) of Thunders caught Beeradors' defense by surprise and sprinted past for the winning basket. Thunders likewise out-rebounded the Beeradors 16 to 10.

Box score:
Romago Thunders: 54 Sazon(32) – 18, Gonzales(14) – 12, Tabios(41) – 10, Lambinicio(16) – 8, Allapa(10) – 5, Vargas(9) – 1.

Second Game
Meinhardt Knight Crawlers out-shined LRPA Masters: 42 - 37 
 
Last Saturday's second game was indeed reminiscent of the Ateneo vs La Salle rivalry, thrilling fans and supporters of both teams. Despite the Masters' concerted effort and blistering offense, they failed to lord it over the Knight Crawlers and lost by 5 points.  Masters staged a fiery rally in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter, but it was immediately extinguished cold by a 3-point shot courtesy of Rocha(12) of the Knight Crawlers. Although both Crawlers and Masters tied at the rebound department with 12 boards apiece, Meinhardt Knight Crawlers distributed the ball better and topped the LRPA Masters in assists, 6 to 2.  Rocha(12) of Meinhardt led all scorers with 18 points, highlighted by two treys.

Box score:
Meinhardt Knight Crawlers: 42 Rocha(12) – 18, Clemente(3) – 9, Aragoncillo(19) – 8, Escoro(23) – 3, Zarzuela (20) – 2, Ramirez(9) – 2.
LRPA Master: 37 Manlapaz(9) – 11, Agno(47) – 9, Ramilo(15) – 6, Rebito(17) – 5, Nañasca(1) – 4, Mauhay(13) – 2

AMICI - Thermovar Invitational Sports Fest 2011 Opening Ceremony

AMICI Mercantile Inc. and THERMOVAR Pipes opened its Invitational Sports Fest 2011 in July 2, 2011 in the Cuneta Astrodome.  Twenty-seven teams from the construction, engineering and service industry, including the host teams, AMICI and THERMOVAR completed the final list of basketball and badminton teams.

The opening ceremony started with a prayer and the national anthem. This was immediately followed by the Parade Of Teams.  PBA superstars Kenneth Duremdes and Gerard Francisco graced the Opening Ceremony and surprisingly stayed longer than expected, much to the delight of the guests and players.  During the intermission, an acrobatic number by the PLP Pep Squad brought back memories of UAAP and NCAA Opening Ceremonies.

Sexy and “funny” entertainer/comedienne Rufa Mi wowed the crowd with her masterful show hosting and punch lines.  She hosted the Q and A portion for the Best Muse contest and the Blast Cheer Contest.  These drew much laughter and cheers from the crowd.  JSR Pascals Team pulled the biggest surprise of the show, and won the Blast Cheer by a creative “non-entry” cheer (?) of “wala! wala,! wala!” at the bleacher when asked by Rufa if they have prepared their own blast cheer.  Hotel SOGO's Muse (Red Banner) won the Best Muse Award.  AMICI HEATers' player and over-all Games Coordinator Mike Tayo ran the torch for the Traditional Torch Run followed by the traditional Oath of Sportsmanship led by one of the players of Hotel SOGO All Star Team.

The opening basketball games for the afternoon were determined through drawing of lots.  The successful opening ceremony drew admiration and enjoyment from representatives of the participating teams despite “comedy of errors” and miscues.
