Wildcats trash Tarantulas by 64 points

THE WIPRO Wildcats bounced back from a previous loss with a record-setting 100-36 trashing of the Executive Boutique Tarantulas last Sunday in the 2011 Powerade E-League for Basketball at the City sports Club-Cebu Gym.

Wipro’s output was the most points scored by any team in league history. The 64-point rout was also the biggest margin of victory this season so far.

Raymond San Juan spearheaded that rousing victory with 30 points and had four teammates scoring in double figures as the Wildcats tallied their third win in six games.

Giovanni Wiesley Taok scored 19 points, Arnold Christian Fonacier added 16, Philipp Adrianne Santos wound up with 12, while John Paul Escudero had 10 as the Wildcats got right back on track after losing to the Stream Blue Devils, 58-68, last June 11.

Andrew Hilvano scored 15 points and Vincent Rei Aguilar had 10 for the hapless Tarantulas, who stayed winless after five battles.

In the other game, Jopher Regidor fired six triples and scored 26 points as the Qualfon Knights stunned the defending champions Teletech Titans, 69-62.

Regidor was ably backed by Glenn Mangubat and Benjamin Sanchez, who added 12 and 10 points for the Knights, who improved to 3-3 (win-loss).

Lourenz Limpangog scattered 18 points, Ad Roel Laboga finished with 16 and Sherwin Emmanuelle Resilla had 10 in the Titans’ first loss in four games.

The Calltek Trojans, meanwhile, pocketed win number three via a 63-39 trashing of the JP Morgan Chase and Co. Bankers.

Mark Louise Gellez and Aerl Genebraldo combined for 33 points to lead the Trojans, who improved to 3-1 to forge a three-way tie at second place.

David Garcia scored 14 points for the Bankers, who suffered their fifth loss against two victories. /EDITORIAL ASSISTANT CALVIN D. CORDOVA
