TURNKEY Solution G-Rollers continued their rise up the U18 boys division leaderboard in the 2025 Allied Pacific Environmental Consulting Basketball League, securing another win — this time over their sibling team, Kada Dia G-Rollers — with a 52–35 victory at the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium on Saturday.
Consistency was the highlight for TurnKey, whose players performed their roles effectively. Kian Helgen orchestrated the offense by opening the scoreboard with the first bucket and maintained his efficiency throughout the first half, scoring six points alongside Elijah Ye and Austin Diaz to quickly establish a comfortable lead.
Defensively, TurnKey shut down Kada Dia’s inside game, forcing most of their shots to come from beyond the arc. But with more misses than makes, Kada Dia struggled to find their rhythm and trailed by double digits at halftime, 32–19.
In the second half, Kada Dia began to find their footing, with Enzo Sasamoto leading the charge at the frontline, using his ability to finish at the rim to spark a rally. However, they still lacked the firepower to match TurnKey, as Lance Lerio, Zongyao Huang, and Elijah Ye remained all-around threats, combining for 15 points to widen the gap and ultimately secure a 52–35 victory.
Joining the winner’s circle were Rollers 2, who defeated Priority Care-Madflex, 43-27; Xtreme Fitness-Madflex, which slipped past Rollers 4, 33-31; and Hardt Eye-MP Raiders, who trounced Kagman, 65-35.
