SHSJ Barges Into Finals of Milo BEST Visayas
Bacolod City – The Sacred Heart School Jesuit (SHSJ) scored two more wins to barge into the championship of the Visayas Regional Finals of the Milo BEST Center SBP/Passerelle twin basketball tournament at the West Negros University Gym.
The Eagles defeated College of St. John–Roxas (CSJR), 92-81 on Saturday, then rolled past St. John’s Institute of Bacolod yesterday, 84-70, to score a sweep of the elimination round of the Passerelle division.
SHSJ started out hot against the Roxas champions, controlling the game from the get go, cruising into the fourth quarter with an 80-54 lead. However, CSJR bounced back with a big fourth quarter rally, taking advantage of SHSJ’s relaxed tone, cutting the lead down to seven, 81-88 with 1:45 left in the game. But that was all they could do as the trio of Gabe Branzuela, Adrian Muller and Daryl Nazareno replied with 7-0 run to seal the win.
It was a different story against St. John’s Institute of Bacolod as SHSJ didn’t get off to its usual quick start as the hosts matched the Eagles, tying the game at 18-all after the first quarter. The second quarter squad though, turned things around, sprinting to a 46-25 halftime lead, behind its full-court pressure defense. It was then cruise control from there on for the Eagles. SHSJ faced Ateneo de Iloilo in the championship game which was being played at presstime yesterday.
Meanwhile, the University of San Carlos North Campus (USC NC) will play for third place in the SBP division after bowing to Bacolod Tay Tung School, 47-58 in its second game. The Baby Warriors blew hot and cold, trailing Tay Tung at halftime, 22-33, but recovering to take a slim 39-38 lead at the end of the third quarter. Tay Tung then controlled the fourth period, breaking open a close game in the final canto. Enjoying a 43-42 lead with 5:43 left, the hosts unleashed 12-1 run to end USC’s chances of scoring an upset.
USC NC will face Filamer Christian College of Roxas in the battle for third place. Tay Tung faced off against Ateneo de Iloilo for the SBP championship last night.
