Paref escapes St. Louis College
THE PAREF Springdale Titans survived some scary moments before coming up with a 60-54 overtime win over the St. Louis College-Cebu Cardinals in the first Private Schools Developmental League late Thursday night at the PAREF Springdale basketball court in Lahug.
The win was their second in a row and it put them at the top of the standings in the high school division with a 2-0 (win-loss) mark.
The win would not have happened if not for the clutch shooting of Zach Go, who was inserted into the game in the fourth period inspite of a leg injury. Go responded by stabilizing his squad after they lost a lead that went as high as 12.
The Titans dominated in the early goings behind the quarterbacking of twos-sport star Juan Antonio Carcel and the shooting of lefty Alfredo Relucio.
Burly center Roy Villegas tallied 14 to lead the Titans while Benedict Tibon and Ivan Dabon had 14 and 10, respectively, for the Cardinals.
The PSDL games continue today with matches being held at the same venue. /Correspondent Jonas Panerio
