Zamboanga — As the Carlos P. Garcia (CPG) Bohol squad continued its remarkable streak in the GlobalPort-VisMin Super Cup, a 5’4″ local talent was able to dazzle the local folks inside the Mayor Vitaliano Agan Coliseum and spark host team, Zamboanga Valientes.
Denver Cadiz stepped up in the land of the giants, leading the Valientes to a 89-78 triumph over the Macfi-Basilan Golden Lions in the GlobalPort-VisMin Super Cup.
The smallest man on the court played a big game, finishing with 17 points, dished out seven assists, grabbed five rebounds and completed two steals in an all-around performance that helped the Valientes notch their sixth win in 10 games to move up to solo third spot in this import-flavored tournament.
Offensively, it was Reed Juntilla who carried most of the firepower for the Valientes as he knocked in 24 points to go along with seven boards while import Prince Eze added 13 points, 17 rebounds and two blocks.
Cadiz was the star of the night, but as a team, CPG continued to assert its dominance as the Dolphins posted their 10th win in as many games following a 93-80 beat down of KalosPh.
The Dolphins remained as the only undefeated squad in the tournament.
Chris Masaglang and import Joel Gonzallo tallied 14 points apiece while Jonel Bonganciso chipped in 13 for the Dolphins, who had already secured a spot in the Final Four of the tournament.
OCCCI-Ormoc coasted to its third straight win in the second round of the tournament, this after the Sheer Masters humbled McDavid-ZamPen, 113-98.
Also winning Thursday was Tubigon, which clobbered Sultan Naga Dimaporo, 65-58.
