Willtrade blows away Avenue Suites
to capture Tay Tung basketball crown

Willtrade/Phoenix finally got its hands on the championship trophy with a masterful domination of the Avenue Suites, 110-75, in the final match of the Bacolod Tay Tung High School Alumni Basketball Tournament played Sunday at the Po Hang Gym.

With a 37-point demolition of defending champion Davies Paints in Saturday’s semifinals, Willtrade/Phoenix was primed to win the crown despite a strong resistance from Avenue Suites, which advanced to the finals by topping MS Tablet.

Despite the tight defense of Avenue Suites in the first quarter, the Rey Pandoro-mentored Willtrade/Phoenix managed to establish a 10-point lead in the first quarter, 23-13, with Bong Lopez scoring seven points and Tong Yap adding five points.
