Ceres beats Petron in
Huaming cagefest

Ceres Pasalubong 2006/07 held on until the final buzzer to get away with a 70-68 win against Petron 2001/02/12, while Waterfull/Celcor 93/94/95 beat the Legends (89 & earlier)/2009 with a 104-79 blow out in the latest match-ups of the 5th SJI Alumni Basketball Friendship Cup at the Msgr.

With Keith Banzon hitting two triples and Alvin Dionela scoring five points, Ceres took a three-point lead, 15-12, in the first quarter, only to lose the momentum in the second canto as Petron’s trio of Joshua Co, Ralph Ong, and Marcelino Tan combined for 23 points for a 38-34 halftime lead.

Ceres matched Petron’s intensity in the third quarter to cut the lead to a single point, 48-49 going into the payoff period.

MANILA - Chris Ellis, Keith Jensen, Vic Manuel, and Jason Deutchman will give the fans a glimpse of the PBA’s future when the four heralded rookies make their respective debuts right on the opening day of the Philippine Cup this Sunday at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum.

Ellis, Jensen, Manuel and Deutchman are expected to see action as the Barangay Ginebra tests the mettle of newcomer Global Port in the lone opening game set at 6 p.m.

The four are part of the enormous Class of 2012 which not a few had labeled as one of the deepest pool of rookies ever to apply in the Draft.
