Henkel ‘95, GCM ‘98-B stay unbeaten in CECABA hoopfest
Henkel Philippines ’95 and GCM Royalle Merchandise ’98-B hammered contrasting wins over separate foes to keep their undefeated records intact in the Cebu Eastern College Alumni Basketball Association’s 10th Dr. Chen Lieh Fu Memorial Cup last Saturday at the CEC Gym.
Class ’95 handily pulverized Jepoy Sales Inc. 2001 into smithereens, 74-49, while Class ’98-B had to pass through the wringer before grinding through a 62-59 victory over sister-team Cokaliong Shipping ’98-A.
Leading by only two points at halftime, 31-29, Class ’95 made a 16-9 in the third period before formally knocking out the hapless Class 2001 using a deadly 27-11 punch in the windup.
Many-time All-Star Donald Anthony Ting once again topscored with 22 points as Class ’95 coasted to its third consecutive win in as many games. Dean Dy Teves and Joseph James Yu each added 12 markers, while Edison Ho fired a season-high 11 markers on a spectacular 5-of-6 sniping from the field.
Alwyn Ong was the lone double-digit scorer with 14 for Class 2001, which slipped to 1-1.
In the other match, Robinson Yap and Elvis Evangelista keyed a tide-turning rally in the windup to help Class ’98-B snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
