SHS-Ateneo Cebu, Xavier Univ-CDO Win in All Ateneo Games

Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu and Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan won the different titles at the All Ateneo Invitational Games 2020 held at the SHS-Ateneo de Cebu campus in Canduman, Mandaue.

SHS-Ateneo copped the Boys Under 13 Basketball event via a 64-50 win over Ateneo de Iloilo. SHS-Ateneo also won the Girls Under 13 Volleyball event by squeaking past Ateneo de Davao in five sets. Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan prevented a sweep by the hosts by bagging the Boys Under 12 Basketball with a thrilling come-from-behind 83-82 win over the host team.

In the Under 13 Boys Basketball finals, the Magis Eagles leaned in a second period to break open a close game and cruise to a win. After leading 14-10 after one period, the Magis Eagles opened up a 35-20 halftime lead, a gap they would maintain for the rest of the game. Dylan Jared Lim led a balanced attack and led three others in double digit scoring with 15 points and four steals. Alden Cainglet had 13 points and seven rebounds, while Froilan Maglasang and Damian Belano had 10 apiece. Zark Sapalaran led Ateneo de Iloilo with 12 as Jurrien Tenorio added 10. 
  
In the finals of Girls Under 12 Volleyball, the hosts squandered a 2-0 lead in sets and a 24-22 edge in the third set to fend off a gritty Ateneo de Davao side, 25-15, 25-14, 25-27, 18-25, 15-9. After losing the first two sets, the Davao girls woke up to take the next two sets, sending the match to a fifth set. The Lady Magis Eagles jumped to a 10-5 lead in the deciding set before ADDU sliced the lead to 10-7. The hosts replied with a 3-0 run for 13-7 lead before ADDU rallied yet again to 13-9. SHS-Ateneo then recovered to end the match.

Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan made sure that the hosts wouldn’t sweep all events as Vinn Anderson Racines scored on a baseline lay-up with four seconds left for the 82-81 victory. Down 80-81 with six seconds left, Xavier drew up a play for Raalm Jared Mangubat to play decoy and passer as he received the inbound pass at the elbow area, drew a double team and pass the ball to a moving Racines along the baseline. His lay-up lipped around the rim before dropping through the net. Xavier trailed the hosts, 47-63, at the end of the third period but never gave up, crawling their way back to the win. Agustin Pajo led Xavier University with 30 points and five steals while Mangubat added 19 points and a whopping 28 rebounds. Joseph Adrian Serra and Julius Jadz Villena had 12 points each. Xerex Alejandro led SHS-Ateneo with 28 points and eight rebounds. Maximillian Cole Ting added 12 as Kyean Gubat scored 11.
