Class 2004 reaches division finals in CECABA

-
Hannah's Cakes and Decors 2004 went through extra period before disposing off Rocket Battery '95, 84-77, to clinch a finals seat in Division II of the Cebu Eastern College Alumni Basketball Association's 8th Dr. Chen Lieh Fu Memorial Cup on Tuesday night at the City Sports Club Cebu gym.

In the other game, Armour Wood '81/85 kicked off its semifinal bid with a 71-57 thrashing of Asian Home Appliance '89/93.

Four players scored in double figures led by Danel Hayag with 21 points as Class 2004 assured itself of at least a tie for the Division II finals berth with a 2-1 win-loss record.

Hayag was heavily backed up by Rodney Co with 17 points, and Christian Espada and Aljhune Areja, who finished with 16 and 15 markers, respectively.

After a 69-all deadlock at the end of the regulation period, Class 2004 banked on its fresher legs and quickness to finish off Class '95 with a 15-8 run in the extension.

Donald Anthony Ting fired a game-high 27 points, 17 in a 23-15 first quarter rally, but his efforts went for naught at Class '95 started its semifinal campaign on a wrong foot.

Earlier, Class '81/85 showed great team effort in pulling of a 14-point rout of Class '89/93, behind 23 points from cat-quick playmaker Stephen Lee.

Joel Chan added 19 points, while Wilson Yu and Edwin Kaw connived for 26 points for Class '81/85, which ripped the game apart with a 54-40 edge entering the final quarter. The Armour Wood-backed squad never looked back from thereon.

Allan Leith Ting finished with 18 points but was the only double digit scorer as Class '89/93 absorbed its first semis defeat in two starts.
