Firefly grabs solo lead in MICABAJA cagefest

The Firefly Lighting Team dusted off ASH, 84-79, to grab the solo lead in the MICABAJA Basketball League 2007 at the Duljo-Fatima hardcourt, this city.

The Fireflies dictated the tempo of the match early on to post a double-digit lead, 26-16, but the ASH stalwarts rallied back with finesse in the second quarter to forge a 44-all deadlock at the turn.

That proved to be ASH''s last hurrah as Alberto Handayan, Rommel Gabuya and Francis Quimada put their acts together in the final half to vault Firefly to victory.
