- Sona Mae V. Povadora -
Cebu Eastern College batch '60 erased a 14-point deficit to forge a 105-all tie with powerhouse J&B in the elimination round of the Punta Princesa Sports Association-Lourdes Fiesta Cup basketball tournament at the Vicente Sotto Memorial Gym.

Despite playing undermanned J&B took a commanding post until the end of the third quarter, leading by as much 14 points, 85-71. But CEC unleashed a blistering comeback behind the flurry of Bryan Renjane and Ryan Ordes in the pivotal period.

CEC first grabbed the driver's seat, 105-103, in the last 11 seconds but in the return play, Keith Arellano hit a short jumper that gave J&B a crucial deadlock 105-all with no overtime allowed being the guest team.

In the spirit of friendship, CEC '60 acknowledged J&B's winning streak as they now carved an impressive 8-0 win-loss record.

Arellano lead J&B by posting 32 points. Also finishing in double figures were Jojo Cañete with 20, Art Arellano with 28 and Bong Abbu with 12.

Renejane and Sammy Co fired 30 points apiece for the losing team while Ordes added 20 points.

In the other game, the tandem of ex-PBA Mark Tallo and Joe Calleja provided the leadership as PPBA-AA toppled Swan Sardines in a come-from-behind 112-101 victory.

Tallo and Calleja erupted with 30 points each and Boy Alfeche chalked up 16 points while Rey Cantona top scored for Swan with 27 points.

In the other game, Loctite Super Glue notched its seventh victory at the expense of Global Accent Export, 101-73.
