South stars outshine North foes in PBL bash

CABAGAN, ISABELA — It was a game that could have gone down to the wire, but the South team made the decisive move in the last five minutes to humble the North team on its own turf, 103-97, the other night in the 2003 PBL Rising Stars North-South Game at the Josefina Albano Sports Coliseum

Bruce Dacia and Jojo Tangkay powered the endgame breakaway, combining for 11 points in the crucial stretch that denied the rivals of the chance to impress the jampacked hometown crowd in this event made possible through the support of Air Philippines, Isabela Governor Jun Dy, organizing committee chairman Sec. Bebot Bello, Cabagan Mayor Mila Albano-Mamauag and Cong. Rudito Albano of Cabagan, Isabela.
