Centennial Hardware drubs Dewfoam in CECABA hoop

CEBU, Philippines - Centennial Hardware '95 easily shook off a rusty start on the way to shackle Dewfoam '88, 68-50, in the Cebu Eastern College Alumni Basketball Association's 11th Dr. Chen Lieh Fu Memorial Cup on Friday night at the CEC gym.

Class '95 trailed by two at the end of the first period, 13-15, but battered Class '88 in the next two quarters, 33 -22, to change the complexion of the match in its favor for good at halftime, 49-37.

Donald Anthony Ting scattered 24 points, while Raymond Gollon added 12 markers and four rebounds as Class '95 improved its win-loss record to 11-2.

Harry Villamor had 14 points, Rey Kenneth Ng added 13 markers, while Gregorio Aguilar and Richard Yu scored 10 each but their balanced offensive was to no avail as Class '88 suffered its fourth loss in 11 games.

In the other game, Stanley Gaw banged in 14 points and five rebounds as First Family Appliance '87/94 slammed the slumping Gregoria's Curtains and Trim Haus '89/93, 54-43, for its only fourth victory in nine starts.

 Class '87/94, led by Edwin Ong with 11 points, eight rebounds, and two steals, plummeted to its eighth consecutive defeat. – EBV (THE FREEMAN)
