-

CEBU, Philippines - Two-time champion Roadstar/Castrol ’96 banked on its vast experience and maturity to hand RJX Transport Solutions ’99 its first defeat of the season via a 66-48 rout in the Cebu Eastern College Alumni Basketball Association’s 11th Dr. Chen Lieh Fu Memorial Cup last Tuesday evening at the City Sports Club-Cebu gym.

Arniel Frank Pelaez netted a season-high 22 points and Rex Alinson added 17 for Class ’96, which kept Class ’99 at bay since getting off to a hot 14-4 start.

There was no stopping Class ’96 as it went on to mount an imposing 22-point bulge at the end of the third period, 52-30. The rest was history.

Class ’96, thus, improved its win-loss record to 4-1, while Class ’99 saw its five-game winning streak come to a sudden red stop. Mark Eugene Bukiron was the lone double-digit scorer for the RJX Transport-backed squad with 17 points.

In the other game, Donald Anthony Ting fired 21 points as Centennial Hardware ’95 crushed Young Builders ’91, 79-63. Class ’95 now holds a 4-2 win-loss record, while Class ’91 slumped to 1-3.

Dean Dy Teves chipped in 15 points and Jeffrey Tanchunbing scored a dozen for Class ’95, which wobbled Class ’91 with its explosive opening assault, 22-7. The lead grew to as much as 20 points at halftime, 42-22, leaving Class ’99 in the dark the rest of the way.

Tommy Yu topscored for Class ’91 with 21 points followed by Kevin Co with 18 markers.
