Convergys, QBE preserve clean records in E-League
THE defending champions Convergys Converters and QBE Generals preserved their immaculate records after they posted separate wins last Saturday in the 12th City Sports Club-Cebu (CSC-C) E-League for Basketball at the CSC-C Gym.
The Converters moved atop the standings in the Elite Classic after they nipped the Telstra Boomerangs, 68-56, while the Generals grabbed the No. 1 spot in the EVO League rankings by downing the Kyocera Frontiers, 65-48, in a battle of unbeaten teams.
Aldene Jay Batino and Jaime Pacquiao each scored 14 points to lead the Converters, who stayed unbeaten in four games.
Lourenz Limpangog chipped in 12 markers, while Kenneth Dysam contributed 11 markers for Convergys, which never looked back after taking a 33-15 lead at the half.
Janrie Perez scored 15 markers, Brennan Gonzales tallied 11 markers and Jasper Christian Diaz added 10 for the Boomerangs, who tasted their fourth defeat in six outings.
QBE, on the other hand, improved to 5-0 (win-loss) behind Johnrey Girasol, Christopher James Durango and Jecon Bonsucan, who combined for 31 points.
Ariel Ramonito Edera fired 10 points but no other Frontier scored in double figures which heavily contributed to Kyocera’s first loss in five games.
In the other Elite Classic match, the Accenture Sharks stretched their winning streak to three by chalking up a 74-60 triumph over the Wipro Tigers.
Archie Brian Batua delivered 25 points, 12 rebounds, seven assists and four steals, while Julian Kyle Suerte pitched in 11 markers as the Sharks climbed to 3-2.
Reinario Salibay paced the Tigers, who fell to 0-4, with 15 points.
Also scoring a win in the Elite Classic were the Lexmark Stallions, who shackled the Sykes Pioneers, 62-53.
Sylvester Millevo scattered 17 points, while Franco Angelo Cipriano bounced back from a sub-par performance in their last game as he piled up 16 points, 14 rebounds, four blocks, three assists and a steal as the duo powered the Stallions’ third victory against a single loss.
Sykes, which slid to 2-3, was led by the 10 points of Sherwin Anghay.
