U12’s Shorties, U15’s F-Rollers, and U17’s TUGZ were crowned champions of their respective divisions in last Saturday’s FIBA 33, three-on-three basketball competition at the Garapan Basketball Court.
Shorties’ C.J. Morales, Maeog Metran, Joshua Alfred, and Kenji Abobo defeated We Are True, 21-14, in the U12 finals. Morales carried the torch with 13 points; the halftime scores were not made available. Six teams made up the division.
F-Rollers’ Jeran Ano, Deon Sabino, Toshi Pangelinan, and Braylan Florensca routed Boys To Win, 21-4, in the U15 title match.
A well-balanced attack in the opening frame gave the F-Rollers a 12-2 margin at the half and Sabino secured the win with a string of seven points in the clutch; he led all scorers in the game. Six teams made up the division.
TUGZ’s John Cenir, John Darag, Mike Taitano, and Dixon Kwon defeated Big 3, 24-14, but individual scoring statistics were not made available. Four teams made up the division.
A total of 16 teams joined the event.
Notably, the Open Family division games were called off due to rain late afternoon.
All first place finishers received individual medals.
“On behalf of the Division of Youth Services, we would like to thank all of the players and their families for coming out this weekend, BANMI Referee Association president Gabriel White and the rest of the FIBA officials, Joe and Verna Diaz of the Rollers Basketball Club, volunteer Chris Aguinaldo, and all of the 2011 DYS Summer Camp volunteers. We also want to send special thanks to Elias Rangamar, NMC’s AHEC and Cultura Athletics,” said event organizer Abner Venus.
