The Maroons leaned on the steady hands of Eric Perpetua, Ken Estenzo and Joseph Esteban late in the 4th quarter as they hold off the Azkals, 53-43 in the second day of the Cebu Recreational Basketball Association Season 1 tournament at the YMCA Gym. In the second game, PYFBA relied on the scoring of Velayo and Saballa to beat Sunday Club, 67-45.

Perpetua scored 9 of his game-high 15 points in the second half, Estenzo dropped 5 of his 14 and Esteban fired 6 of his 11 points in the 4th quarter as the Maroons fend off a late-game rally by the Azkals. Big man Maiko scored 8 points and Esteban had 5 markers in the opening quarter as they led the Maroons to an early lead. Perpetua and Ken Estenzo then took over in the second period as the former dropped in 6 points and the latter had 8 points spiked by two three-pointers. The Azkals staged a spirited comeback  in the 4th quarter behind big man Erwin Ozares and wingman Jecon. Ozares was however called for a technical foul(for a dangerous foul) late in the 4th quarter and the Maroons retook the momentum. 

In the second game of the night, Saballa and Velayo combined for 47 points as PYFBA mangled Sunday Club. Sunday's Jonas Cuayzon had 15 points but got little support from his teammates.
