Barangay 19 got away with a 75-72 victory against Brgy. 35 to push the latter to the brink of elimination in the latest match  of the 8th Monico Cup Basketball Tournament at the Bacolod Arts and Youth Sports Center.

Despite having former Negros Slasher pointguard and village chief Maui Huelar in the lineup, Brgy. 35 failed to advance their cause as the team went down against Singcang-Airport, 70-63, in their next assignment.

Brgy. 19, on the other hand, failed to sustain its winning streak as it suffered a 98-86 loss to Brgy. 18 while Brgy. 10 turned back Handumanan, 79-73, in Saturday’s quarterfinals.

With their separate wins over their opponents,  Brgy. 18, 10 and Singcang-Airport advanced into the semifinals.

The schedule of the semifinals will be discussed during the coaches’ meeting on July 16 at Bacolod City Sports Office with tournament manager Rolando  Marañon.

The tournament drew participation from 37 barangays in Bacolod that were divided into four groups.*NAB
