A
determined five of the Bohol Institute of Technology International
College Jr. Cruisers halted defending champions Bohol Wisdom
School Golden Dragons, 83-65 to gain the 1st final slot of
the ongoing 13th Bohol Schools Amateur Athletic Association
(BSAAA) 3rd Graham C Lim Basketball Challenge at the UB gym.
The
rampaging jr Cruisers ignited a 10-0 blast to overhaul a 9
point deficit in the 3rd quarter to grab the driver's seat,
50-60 as the Herculean pair of Kent Galaura and Brel Meurom
started to dominate the boards to overwhelm their counterparts.
From
there the Jr. Cruisers never looked back as they fought their
hearts out coupled with the defenseless opponent as the formidable
combination of Galaura and Meurom continued to fire their
arsenals with accurate precision.
Former
All-Star most valuable player Melvin Cyrus Polestico, streak
shooter Kristian Atienza, power forward Lyle Gregorio had
their bad night as they kept struggling to put up a fortified
effort to neutralize Galaura and Meurom but to no avail as
the latte were unstoppable.
