I am a proud Xientian alumnus, which is why for the third straight year our batch (2000) is joining the third season (together with our friends from batch 2002).
Posting news about the opening day highlights provided by no one else but Mr. Rommel Madayag.
Text taken from the Kisay Basketball League - 3rd Season group page;
Team 2007 returns to the League with a 54 – 42 win over QueSci Varsity. With a balanced scoring by all starters, the 2k7 dribblers have to shake off a 5 – 0 early lead by the Varsity team then took command of the whole game and never looked back. Unforced errors, low percentage shooting, poor defense and inexperience took its toll on the youngsters.
The second game saw how Team 2003 redeemed itself from its lone tormentor last season, Team 2008. After trailing by as much as 8 points in the 1st quarter the defending champs, led by the relentless defense and transition offense of Edd Lozano (26 pts) and Royann Hernandez (17 points), outlasted the undermanned. Completing the Big-Three of 2k3 is Jacob Manlapaz who scattered 19 points, 11 in the first half. Team 2008 was led by James Chua (22 pts) who made a late rally in the dying minutes of the 4th quarter but to no avail.
Team 2004 proved to be a team to reckon with as it outclassed Team 2k5-2k6, 64 – 45. Leading all the way, the tandem of Jose Gemora (16 pts, 4/8 3-pts) and Bren Bigcas (15 pts) was too much for Marnex Mijares – led team 2k5-2k6.
Special Note: Vincent Garcia of Team 2008 will be the first player to be meted a 1-game suspension for incurring an unsportsmanlike foul on Edd Karl Lozano in a fast break play during the 2nd game action. He won’t be allowed to play on July 7, 2012 in their match against team 2k7.
I will be posting coverage of the games whether done by myself, Mr. Madayag or some other Xientian alumnus.
Good luck and may the season be injury free to all the participating teams.
