Grandeur reaches finals in FYA hoopla
CEBU, Philippines – Slippery guard Dondon Cadungog calmly sank two pressure-packed charities with eight-tenths of a second left as the fourth-ranked Grandeur upset the top seed Orillaville via an 87-86 cliffhanger to advance into the Dark bracket finals of the F. Llamas Youth Association (FYA) 1st Vice Mayor Mike Rama Cup at the Don Vicente Sotto Memorial Gym in Brgy. Punta Princesa, this city.
Cadungog scattered 30 points for Grandeur, which completed a two-game sweep of Orillaville in their best-of-three semifinal series. They will face next the Rollyr Boyz of Brgy. Capt. Rolly Diorico for the Dark bracket title.
Mark Tundag, Junjun Sabalande and Markmak Lañojan finished with 39 points combined for Grandeur.
Ryan Villaver led Orillaville with 31 points, while Jay Perez added 23 points. Junbel Llegunas and Mark Enriquez had 14 and 12 points, respectively, in a losing effort.
