A+ CONSULTING is the masters division champion of the 2025 IT&E–United Filipino Organization Basketball League after crushing KPro, 98-57, in the title game at the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium on Saturday.
A+ Consulting was in total control from start to finish, led by Andrew Ashburn, who fired from all cylinders. From beyond the arc to around the perimeter, he led the onslaught with 16 points. With the help of teammates Alis Robles, Alex Lauron, and Chris Sanchez, their lead quickly grew out of reach.
KPro played their hearts out with Jawn Joyner and John Jugos leading the frontline, but they couldn’t match A+ Consulting’s efficiency and quickly fell behind by double digits, 49-24.
In the second half, A+ Consulting only solidified its dominance as contributions poured in from the bench. Joel Javier took over early with back-to-back and-one plays, while Deshawn Reign kept the momentum going with strong play in the paint, including a pair of jump shots.
KPro continued to battle as Joyner picked up where he left off, scoring several times at the rim while Bernard Montano and Rodjay Macaraig took charge in the final 10 minutes, hoping to chip away at the deficit.
However, A+ Consulting stayed hot throughout the exchange, with Julius Domine, Jun Estolas, Donny Fejeran, and Edong Echavez lighting up the scoreboard to seal a dominant 98-57 victory over KPro.
