Boomerangs still alive in Elite Classic

EVO LEAGUE champions Telstra-Teletech Boomerangs continued their magical ride, bucking yet another elimination with a 98-82 win over the Sykes Pioneers in a knockout match of the 11th City Sports Club-Cebu (CSC-C)

E-League for Basketball’s Elite Classic playoffs last Sunday at the CSC-C Gym.

Up next for the Boomerangs is another gargantuan task as they will play the Lexmark Stallions, who are armed with a twice-to-beat advantage after topping the elimination round of Elite Classic.

Telstra-Teletech survived a tightly fought championship series in the EVO League against the Supportsave Dragons.

The win allowed the Boomerangs to earn a seat in the Elite Classic playoffs.

Sam Jordan Hermosa was his usual deadly self, once again leading the Boomerangs with eye-popping numbers as he piled up 38 points, 23 rebounds, six blocked shots, four assists and two steals.
