Lucky 9 for Class '96 in CECABA cagefest
CEBU, Philippines - The First Family Appliance Circle '96 easily slammed Fil-Ann 2009, 43-29, to stretch its unbeaten streak to nine in the Cebu Eastern College Alumni Basketball Association's 12th Dr. Chen Lieh Fu Memorial Cup last Thursday night at the City Sports Club-Cebu gym.
Shaun Christopher Wang had 17 points and 14 rebounds and Dreyfuss Ang added 11 points on top of eight rebounds, a league-record eight steals and six assists for Class '96, which pounded the hapless Class 2009 quarter after quarter to come up with a masterful 14-point demolition.
Alfie Dwight Miranda Sy had 15 points and three rebounds but could not do anything to prevent Class 2009 from absorbing its seventh loss against only one win.
Earlier, Joseph Aljhune Areja chalked up 26 points, four steals and three assists, while Kevin Mamac, Randy Sypongco and Rodney Lindimar Co each scored 12 as Best World Lifestyle whipped Jepoy '99, 70-61, to improve its win-loss record to 5-3.
Class 2004 trailed for most of the way but detonated a devastating 23-10 bomb in the windup to turn the tables on Class '99 at the final buzzer.
Mark Eugene Bukiron sizzled with 35 points, 12 rebounds, and four assists but his big night went for naught as Class '99 slipped to 5-4.
