Sixers II leveled their record to 3-3 after dispatching sister team Sixers III, 48-34, Thursday evening in the continuation of the 2006 Inter-Village Youth Basketball League at the Garapan Basketball Court.
Juanito Sambile jumpstarted Sixers II, scoring all of his 10 points in the opening eight minutes of action to help his team to a 16-8 lead going into the second period.
Sixers II used a more balanced attack in the second with the same results, as coach Ray Duenas’ senior developmental team had eight points spread out on four players but still led, 24-12, at the break.
The stats quo was more or less maintained in the third period with Sixers II pumping in nine points and their sister team eight as the latter took a 35-20 advantage heading into the payoff period.
Nevin Salem tried his best to rally Sixers III in the final eight minutes, raining in six points but to no avail.
Sixers II just had more experience on their side and got a bonus with five points from Mark Palacios to close with the 14-point win.
Sambile paced Sixers II with his aforementioned 10 points, while Joshua Duenas added eight. Eddie Demi had a dozen to pace Sixers III, which absorbed its sixth loss in the same number of games.
Sixers II 48 – Sambile 10, J. Duenas 8, Palacios 7, Agtarap 4, M. Duenas 4, Manaluz 3, Eclevia 2, Borja 2, Ghia 2.
