All Out finished third in Pool B of the 2007 Inter-government Basketball League after beating the Department of Public Works/Procurement & Supply, while the Public School System snapped its losing skid last Wednesday at the Gilbert C. Ada Gym.
All Out outclassed DPW/P&S, 70-60, to end the regular season with a 4-2 record. The Office of the Public Auditor and the Department of Community and Cultural Affairs hold identical 5-0 records and are fighting for the top seeding in Pool B.
New recruit Abong Camacho secured the win for All Out as he drilled eight of his 10 points in the fourth quarter.
DPW/P&S was threatening All Out as the former was down by only two, 45-47, at the end of the third quarter, when Camacho teamed up with Jesse Stole in the final canto.
Stole topscored for All Out with 18 points.
With the win, All Out sets up a duel with Customs in the crossover playoffs.
Customs finished sixth in Pool B with a 1-5 record after bowing to PSS, 83-89, in the first game.
