Assessment demolishes SUGBO in Collector's Cup hoop

CEBU - The Assessment Division bounced back in style with an 85-56 demolition of SUGBO Brokers to jump into solo second place in the 35-below division of the 14th District Collector’s Cup basketball tournament at the Don Vicente Sotto Memorial Sports Complex in Brgy. Punta Princesa, this city.

After falling down at the hands of Amancia Brokers in a game decided only by lucky breaks, Assessment coach Rady Abarintos struck his magic wand again.

Biking Rollon scattered 19 points, 11 in the cripping third-quarter rally, and Daniel Enriquez cashed in 11 markers as the Assessment notched its second win two starts, just a full game behind the undefeated front-runner Amancia Brokers (3-0).

Jufer Lopez had 19 points for SUGBO, which slumped to its third straight defeat in as many games.

The Cebu-Customs United Personeros Associaton (C-CUPA), on the other hand, lambasted the Chamber of Customs Brokers, Inc. (CCBI), 109-73, for its second win against only one loss. CCBI slipped to 0-3.

In the 35-above category, the District Collector’s Office of coach Atty. Paul Alcazaren escaped with an 88-85 victory over the Port Operations Division (POD) to join C-CUPA at second place.

     Joseph Jayme nailed a game-high 31 points for District Collector’s Office led by Customs chief Ricardo Belmonte, while Litoy Gacquing chipped in 24 markers.

Allan Rama and Talik Lazarta both finished with 20 points for the 1-2 POD.
