HARDT Eye and Kagman continued their climb in the U18 boys division with victories in the 2025 Allied Pacific Environmental Consulting Basketball League at the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium on Saturday.
Hardt Eye displayed dominance over Kada Dia, 60-46.
Led by Carl Sanchez and Christian Lucero, Hardt Eye continuously punished defenders within the paint with a combined 25 points in the opening half.
Kada Dia fought back with Daniel Logan, James Matsumoto, and Peyton Basa stepping up to cut into Hardt Eye’s lead.
However, lapses in defensive coverage allowed Hardt Eye to dictate the pace comfortably, taking an eight-point advantage into halftime, 33–25.
In the second half, Kada Dia gradually found their rhythm on both ends of the court, making better defensive stops while Logan, Basa, and Matsumoto picked up where they left off.
However, they still couldn’t match the productivity of Lucero and Sanchez, as Hardt Eye maintained enough efficiency to preserve their double-digit lead and eventually secure the 60-46 win.
Sharing a similar story was Kagman, which powered past Priority Care, 53-34.
