THE ChaCha Stars
and the G-Rollers won their 14-and-under matches, while the Explosives
surprised their 16-and-under foe last Wednesday in the 2007 NYBA 16-and-under
Basketball League at the Garapan court.
The ChaCha Stars recovered from a seven-point halftime deficit and pulled
off a 59-48 win over the Celtics.
ChaCha was down at halftime, 17-24, when Tom Agulto, Donovan George, Juan
Iguel and Jack Pua teamed up in the second half to lift their team to
an 11-point victory in the boys 14-and-under division match.
Agulto topscored for the ChaCha Stars with 12 points, while George added
nine markers. Iguel and Pua contributed eight points apiece.
In the other 14-and-under game, the G-Rollers easily cruised past the
Dandan Dreamers, 91-36.
After taking a 36-17 lead, the G-Rollers never gave the Dreamers a chance
to steal the game.
Brandon Aurelio waxed hot from downtown hitting three triples and scoring
15 markers. Jason Palacios led all scorers with 21 points, while Dino
Palacios and Jomar Danas chipped in 12 and 10 markers, respectively.
In the lone boys 16-and-under game, the Explosives pulled off a
72-65 upset over the G-Rollers 2.
