Games on Friday, 30 March 2012
YMCA Indoor Court, Jones Ave., Cebu City

9:00 pm   Azkals vs Hentai Sunday Club
10:00 pm Angry Birds vs PYFBA

PYFBA seeks to solidify its hold of the top spot in the Cebu Recreational Basketball Association Season 1 tournament as they take on erstwhile league leaders Angry Birds at the YMCA Indoor Court. PYFBA looks to again lean on the sterling play of Saballa and team captain Jan Rellosa while the Angry Birds wish to compete at full strength as they badly missed the inside presence of Clay Gumalo and Bryan Bandolon in their loss to the Azkals.

Meanwhile, Hentai Sunday Club is also seeking its 3rd straight win as they face the recharged Azkals team that dealt erstwhile league leaders Angry Birds their first loss of the season. Hentai will pin its hopes on the league's 3rd leading scorer Jonas Cuayzon with able support from team captain Yasser Alip and big men Pippo Perocho and Paulo Jusay.

It will be a tough inside battle between the Azkals' Erwin Ozares and Abad versus the huge Angry Birds frontline of Sean Lapus, Clay Gumalo, Bryan Bandolon and Wayne Chang. The Azkals backcourt will also have to contend with the dynamic duo of the Angry Birds' Benjo Rodriguez and Bryan Maranga.

In the other game, the Maroons hope not to again miss the inside presence of Maiko Matti and wing play of Metz Esteban as they try to avoid a two-game slide. On the other hand, USC Law also look forward to the return of Frank Dinsay to the roster who did not play in their loss to PYFBA.

PYFBA Aim for Top Spot

Games on Friday, 16 March 2012:
YMCA Indoor Basketball Court
9pm    Brave Maroons versus Hentai
10pm  Free Agents versus PYFBA

PYFBA seeks to break a tie atop the standings of the Cebu Recreational Basketball Association Season 1 tournament as they battle the unpredictable Free Agents squad that came off a heartbreaking loss against early league leader Angry Birds. PYFBA will again lean on their dominant frontcourt presence while Free Agents will again look to their back court pair of Mark Anthony Pantonial and Randolf Alegre.

In the other scheduled game, the Brave Maroons try to maintain their winning record against the revived Hentai Sunday Club. The Brave Maroons are among only 3 teams that have yet to lose while Hentai Sunday Club have bounced back to clobber the T-boyz after a crushing defeat to PYFBA in their opening assignment. The Brave Maroons will again try to play a balanced offensive game featuring big man Maiko Matti, wingmen Eric Perpetua and Metz Esteban and point guard Ken Estenzo taking the charge. Team captain Thadz Engaling and big man Carl Dalid will also return from injuries to beef up the squad. Hentai Sunday Club will bank on the one-two punch of Fil-ams Mark Manubag and Daniel Edquid and supported by the local cast of league-leading shotblocker Mikmik and league assists leader Ian Paclipan.

T-boyz, Azkals, USC Law seek first win in tournament


Games on Friday, 9 March 2011:
9pm   USC Law vs PYFBA
10pm T-boyz vs Azkals

PYFBA looks to build on a convincing debut victory as they take on the winless USC Law team on March 9, 2012 in the ongoing Cebu Recreational Basketball Association Season 1 tournament at the YMCA Gym. The T-boyz and the Azkals also look for a first win as they face-off in the second game of the double-header.

PYFBA look to lean on the dynamic duo of Saballa and Velayo who combined for 47 points in their win against Hentai Sunday Club while USC law pins its hopes on the shoulders of league-leading scorer Frank Dinsay. 

The Azkals hope to erase the bitter loss to archrivals Maroons as they take on the struggling T-boyz who will need more than the efforts of Odulio and Wendell Kwan to get better results.

Meanwhile CRBA Commissioner Thadz Engaling has issued a memorandum to mete a one(1) game suspension to players who have committed a second technical foul, one(1) game suspension on the fourth technical foul, two(2) games suspension on the 6th technical foul and a season ban for an 8th technical foul.

*OT period between USC Law and Free Agents to be played at a later date

Benjo Rodriguez scored a team high 12 points while Mod Gallardo and Sean Lapus took over in the 4th quarter to hold off a stubborn Team Free Agents squad in Day 3 of the Cebu Recreational Basketball League Season 1 tournament. In the second game, Sunday Club leaned on the scoring of Jonas Cuayzon and Mark Manubag who had 14 apiece. With the win, the Angry Birds claimed top spot in the leaderboard.

Team Free Agents scored a league record low for points in a quarter with just 2 points to show in the first quarter(courtesy of Mark Pantonial) and lowest point production in a half with 6. Mark Pantonial caught fire in the 3rd period, scoring 8 of his game-high 13 points but Michael Gumagay missed 2 free throws off a technical foul called on the Angry Birds' Bryan Maranga. Randolf Alegre then led a spirited rally by the Free Agents in the 4th quarter scoring all of his 6 points in the period but Gallardo hit 5 crucial points in the 4th quarter while Lapus used his size well to fish for fouls while going steady at the line. Lapus scored 5 of his 7 points in the 4th quarter. 

In the second game, Manubag and Cuayzon combined for 18 first quarter points to help Team Sunday surge ahead of  T-boyz and never looked back from there. Daniel Edquid and Joel scored a combined output of 9 in the 2nd period to maintain Team Sunday's lead. T-boyz staged a rally in the 3rd canto behind co-captain Wendell Kwan and the debuting Edmund Odulio who combined for 14 points in the period but timely three point bombs from Carl Embalzado and the continued onslaught of Cuayzon kept the T-boyz at bay. Kwan led another spirited T-boyz rally in the 4th scoring 6 points as the T-boyz outscored the Angry Birds 16-10 in the 4th quarter, but the Sunday Club managed the clock and their lead well to prevail in the end. The loss relegated the T-boyz to the bottom of the standings.
