Pua leads 1985 Legends to fifth straight win in Sinulog Homecoming Cup

THE SCORING leader may have changed but the result remained the same as the 1985 Legends charged to their fifth win in a row with a 79-57 victory over the 1988 Barakos in Division 1 action of the University of San Carlos North Alumni Basketball Conference Sinulog Homecoming Cup last weekend at the USC North Campus gym.

For a change, former pro Lou Regidor took a backseat to Bing Pua and the latter responded with a massive effort of 39 points.

Regidor, though, was no slouch as he added 23 markers to help the Legends hike their win-loss record to 5-0.

The Barakos salvaged their weekend with an 88-68 victory over the Bai 91 as Edmund Odulio tallied the highest scoring game of the tournament so far with a whopping 41 points. Gerard Bacaltos and Bonito Zanoria chipped in 16 and 14, respectively.

In other games in the same division, the 1992 Rascals and the 1993 Dragons remained a close second behind the Legends as they, too, remained unbeaten with wins in their respective matches.

The Dragons got 18 from lefty big man Bong Eleazar to lead them to a 90-67 win over the 1986 Mighty Geeks.
