THE SACRED Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu grabbed its second straight victory after it turned back Don Bosco, 43-29, in the SBP division of the 32nd SBP Passerelle Twin Tournament backed by Milo on Monday at the Lux Oriens Gym inside the Ateneo de Cebu campus in Mandaue City.
Ateneo de Cebu set the tone early with a 12-4 start that paved the way for the wire-to-wire win.
Kristian Michael Porter led the winning side with nine while Joash Cutamora added eight.
Sid Reroma scored 12 for Don Bosco, which suffered their second straight loss.
In the other match, the University of San Carlos (USC) bounced back from its opening day loss with a dominant 45-29 win over Southwestern University (SWU)-Phinma.
After a slow start, USC steadily ramped up its effort on both ends of the floor, resulting in a 35-18 lead heading to the last period.
Kyle Cabahug was the high-point man for USC with nine, spoiling the 12-point performance of SWU-Phinma’s Nash Cabradilla.
The 32nd SBP Passerelle twin tournament backed by Milo is the country’s longest-running nationwide tournament for the Under 15 and Under 12 age groups. The Cebu champion will qualify for the Visayas Regional Finals which will be played in Iloilo October 7 to 8. The Visayas champion then plays against other regional champions in the national finals in December.
