BTTHS cagefest

Team 1 Willtrade Marketing/Phoenix registered its second win with an 85-69 victory over two-time defending champion Team 5 as competition heats up in the Bacolod Tay Tung High School Alumni Basketball Tournament at the Po Hang Gym over the weekend.

Bong Lopez sizzled in the first quarter as he scored 16 points, while Siopao Dechavez and Rommel Ting backed him up with five points each as the Rey Pandoro-mentored Team 1 had a 32-9 fiery start.

Carlos Chiu joined the scoring spree with 13 points in the second quarter as Team 1 dominated the first half at 49-27.

Sustaining their advantage in the third quarter, Jepoy Nieles, Third Delloso, and Larry Bril carried on Team 1’s defensive work in the low post area for a 21-point cushion entering the payoff quarter.

Team 5 tried to salvage the situation in the final minutes as Carl Edemne, Babbam Guevarra, and RB Chua combined their efforts to cut the lead to five points with five minutes left in the fourth period.

But a short jumper from Delloso and three successive triples from Nieles cut short the rally with Roy Dominguez and Malvin Pineda making their presence felt to turn back Team 5.
