Cebu City, Philippines — Liloan had a victorious debut while last year’s runners-up San Francisco kept in step with the defending champions Danao as they chalked up wins in the 9th Congressman Red Durano Cup Basketball Tournament last Monday, March 25, 2019, in Sogod.
Liloan bested Poro, 80-69, in its first game of the annual competition of Cebu 5th District representative Ramon “Red” Durano VI.
San Franciso had a more difficult time against Compostela but eventually prevailed, 70-68, to snatch its second win in as many games and tie idle Danao at the top of the standings.
Sogod bounced back from the thrashing it received from Danao by clobbering Tudela, 83-61, to even up its record to 1-1 (win-loss). /bmjo
