Convergys, Teletech still on top

POWERHOUSE teams Convergys and defending champion Teletech continued to stay on top of the heap after they scored contrasting wins last Saturday in the 2011 Powerade E-League for Basketball at the City Sports Club-Cebu Gym.

The Wolves survived a close encounter in a 68-62 triumph over erstwhile co-leader Lexmark  Stallions, while the Titans handily defeated the Kyocera Frontiers, 64-45.

With the twin victories, Convergys and Teletech improved to 7-1 (win-loss).  The Stallions slid to 6-2, while the Frontiers tasted their sixth loss against a solitary victory.

Ronald Mabanto spearheaded the Wolves with a game-high 21 points that went along with his two rebounds, two steals and an assist. Joshua Ryan Yam had a significant contribution for Convergys, finishing with 10 rebounds, nine points, four assists, two steals and one blocked shot.

Franco Angelo Cipriano and Seigfred Ofonda led the Stallions with 17 and 13 markers, respectively.

Sherwin Emmanuelle Resilla, meanwhile, paced the Titans with 15 points, eight boards, four assists and two steals.

Eliot Emerson Uy scattered 21 points to lead Kyocera but failed to get enough support from his teammates as no other Frontier scored in twin digits. /EDITORIAL ASSISTANT CALVIN D. CORDOVA
