Vastly
improved Kevin Mascariñas fought like a fearless
fighter as he drove to the basket aside from collaborating
with Kyle Panong and Dave Balaba in getting control
of the boards to dictate the tempo in early going of
the game.
But
John Rusty Pitao and Leo Bongalos exploded midway in
the fourth canto to keep the score within reach, 66-70
and threatened the mini Dragons' quest for the title.
But to now avail as Kyle Panong, Ven Excel Garrote,
J.P. Romo and Kevin Mascariñas were able to put
a timely defensive stance to frustrate the fighting
wards of coach Janno, who was pinch-hitting for head
coach Rustico Pitao.

The
game long brilliance of Mascariñas waxed hot defying
all guards assigned to him and as the mini Cruisers ignited
an uprising, southpaw slot man Panong joined him in the offensive
thrusts of the mini Dragons.
In
a post game interview, mini Dragons' coach, Gerwin Cabalit
said "our deeper bench made the difference. The boys
deserved the victory. They were determined to end the best
of three series. And I thank the God the Almighty for this
win."
This
year, the mini Dragons have yet to loose a game. They have
an unstained win loss record to win this tournament and swept
the City Olympics.
In
the high school encounter, Defending champions Bohol Wisdom
Chool Golden Dragons starring former all star MVP MC Polestico,
Ian Atienz, 6th man Mark Matutes, Cholo Uy, Lyle Gregorio,
Darryl "Quality Minute Man" Igar, demolished a struggling
