Mayol, who was also a standout on the 2015 national title-winning Magis Eagles squad, pumped in 27 points to go with four rebounds and two assists.
In other matches in the quadruple-bill on opening day, Leigh Dixon was a man amongst boys as he scored 16 points and snatched 12 boards in 2007’s 55-50 win over 2013.
Then, Franco Te put up 24 points and four rebounds to lead 2004 over 2000, 76-73.
