Titans survive in overtime, Tamaraws prey on Eagles

-

CEBU, Philippines - Springdale School survived in separate overtime games as San Isidro Parish School (SIPS) frustrated Sacred Heart School (SHS) Ateneo de Cebu in different encounters at 16-under in the 3rd BTC Cup yesterday.

(Saturday, Aug. 13).

 The Springdale Titans' Team A first edged Team B of Cebu Cherish School (CCS), 9-8, after two extended periods with Paolo Baltazar making the winning goal in the shootout.

 The Team B of the PAREF squad later outsmarted Team B of Philippine Christian Gospel School (PCGS), 10-8, with the back-to-back goals of Zach Elisha Go and Amiel Villegas.

 Meanwhile, the SIPS Isidorian Tamaraws prevented any extension at the buzzer in separate back-to-back games with the SHS-Ateneo Magis Eagles in the series at Banilad Town Centre.

 Even at eight in the last seconds, Jonathan Tanghal suddenly launched a bomb from beyond the arc, giving SIPS' Team B the win against SHS Team A, 10-8.

 Down by a point also in the last seconds, Mark Joseph Laurente threw his own bomb from beyond the arc for SIPS Team A that shocked SHS Team B, 7-6.

 The 14-under herds of the SIPS Tamaraws, however, suffered back-to-back losses and failed to seal their leads in separate divisions. (PR)

 St. Alphonsus Catholic School (SACS) grabbed the lead from SIPS Team B in Division A with an overwhelming win, 9-2.

 Colegio de la Inmaculada Concepcion (CIC) also overtook SIPS Team A as the topseed in Division B by outwitting the team of last year's 12-under MVP Justin Riner Ramas, 10-8.

 SACS now holds a 4-0 win-loss card with SIPS-B a 3-1 record in Division A, while CIC is now at 3-0 with SIPS-A at 3-1.

 CIC at 12-under also gained momentum in staying as the topseed in Division B after preventing the Magis Eagles Team A from flying, 8-2.

 But the Ateneans' Team B soared higher in Division C, grabbing the PCGS Blue Lions by their claws, 5-2.

 Also yesterday, St. Paul Learning Center (SPLC) Paladins (Team A) reigned supreme in the 10-under category after crushing two separate teams.

 The young knights and foremost warriors of Charlemagne's medieval court first massacred the PCGS Blue Lions, 12-2, then outflanked the SIPS Tamaraws, 7-6.

Sir Joshua Balangkig led in the jousting spree marking 11 total points, backed by successive trebuchet shots by Sir Ray Orville Ybañez scoring 8 points. (FREEMAN)
