Lamac grabs senior A championship crown in 12th Alegado Cup
CEBU, Philippines — Team Lamac edged Pulpogan by the slimmest of margins, 91-90, to clinch the championship title in senior category A of the 12th Mayor Teresa “Nene” P. Alegado Cup Fiesta Basketball League in Consolacion, Cebu.
Joven Cid Cortes starred for Lamac of coach Edsel Vallena with 23 points.
James Daniel Ferraren tallied 17 markers while Joseph Cabahug added 15 points for Lamac, which courageously fought back from a 48-58 halftime deficit to turn back Pulpogan.
Still down by five, 71-76, after three quarters, Lamac staged a nervy endgame assault to frustrate Pulpogan at the final buzzer via cliffhanger.
Russel Moneva and JC Escalona connived for 43 points but their efforts went down the drain for Pulpogan.
As in the past editions, the annual tournament was a huge success under the supervision of SK Federation President Carlos Donn Flores, the overall sports chairman, and his co-chair councilor Marilou Casul.
Paul Alelu Flores served as league commissioner, with Lee Mhar Dahil, Agvin Jugan, and Cromwell Cuenca as deputy commissioners and Stephen Ababon as technical head. — EBV
