4TH
MONICO CUP
Tangub, Singcang cagers
post opening-day triumphs
BY CHRISTIAN IRL TAN
Basketball standouts Nonilon Pedriņa of Singcang-Airport and Tangub's Alfie Villariza shared the spotlight on a glorious June afternoon last year as they hoisted their Monico Cup MVP trophies.
They not did carry their trophies yesterday but their performances in carrying their respective teams to victory were nothing short of MVP-like.
Pedriņa shot 36 points as 26-Under titlist Brgy. Singcang-Airport
shrugged off a rusty start to drub Brgy. Bata, 86-72, at the start of
hostilities Monico Cup at the Negros Occidental Multi-Purpose Activity
Center in Bacolod City.
