MANILA – The Sta. Clarita International High School Primes barged into the win column of the 2017 Iloilo City Invitational Basketball Tournament with a 94-85 win over Iloilo National High School (INHS) on Tuesday at the Barangay Katilingban Gym in Molo.
Ralph Bajon led the way with 31 points for the Primes, which recovered from an opening day loss to Sun Yat Sen High School to tie Mandurriao National High School at third with a 1-1 win-loss slate.
In the other high school category game, St. Roberts International Academy leaned on the hot shooting of Christian Louie Odechique to beat Mandurriao National High, 93-83.
Meanwhile, in the college division, John Earl Lisbo scored a game-winning basket with 0.9 seconds left in the game as the University of San Agustin escaped to a 94-92 win over St. Paul University.
This marks the second straight win of the University of San Agustin, which got 20 markers from Jorine Cercado, to move up to solo first place – while St. Paul University slid down to 0-2.
In the 40 and up category, the Iloilo PROS relied on the 38-point explosion of Edwin Maquillina as the team garnered its second consecutive win at the expense of Iloilo Execs, 109-99.
High school category action resumes today with the Primes taking on St. Roberts at 2 p.m., while Sun Yat Sen will be battling Jalandoni Memorial National High School at 3:30 p.m.
