Cebu City, Philippine—Three players from the back-to-back champions Talisay City Aquastars were named to the Mythical Five of the recently concluded 2019 Governor’s Cup basketball tournament.
These were guard Keaton Clyde Taburnal, forward Clark Ruedas and big man Kendrick Abarquez. The three were highly instrumental in turning back the Mandaue City Ballers in their thrilling best-of-three championship series, which concluded last weekend.
Completing the prestigious quintet are Gabriel Cometa of runners-up Mandaue City and Albert Sacayan of the third-place winning Balamban Shipbuilders.
Abarquez, who was a member of the Cesafi high school Mythical Five last year, was named as the Finals MVP. /bmjo
