Lopue's
stuns Gard;
Valiant posts 1st win
BY CEDELF P. TUPAS
When all seemed lost, Lopue's Travel Center conjured one big play after another in the final six seconds to stun Gard Shampoo, 87-84, late Monday night in the 7th Tan Kek Pin Cup Memorial Basketball Tournament at the Po Hang Gym of Bacolod Tay Tung High School.
Valiant Bank, drawing clutch baskets from ex-San Agustin guard Johnson Salazar, subdued Tangub, 88-76, in the first game.
In an encounter that had all the trappings of a classic,
Lopue's erased a four-point lead in a span of three seconds and sealed
the win with a buzzer-beating triple by Antonio Rogacion, who nailed
the shot from the top of the key after Gard's Robbie Jalando-on had
spilled the ball into the sideline in the inbound play.

rescheduled to Feb. 19-24, while ICCHS will have its celebration
from Feb. 20-25, Go said. |
