The final doubleheader of the 2006 MDX Good Sportsmanship Basketball League-Coca-Cola Cup regular season will be played on a weekend after all.
This, after commissioner Ramon Awit was not able to secure a weekday schedule at the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium.
The league’s final regular season doubleheader was supposed to be played last Sunday, but was cancelled in lieu of the Marianas Amateur Table Tennis Association’s Saipan vs. Tinian Goodwill Tournament.
When the MDX cage league does resume on Saturday, defending champion Samahang Ilokano at Pangasinense (5-1) and Budweiser (5-1) look to join RHT (6-1) on top of the team standings when they take on separate rivals at the Oleai Sports Complex venue.
SIP is a cinch to keep Old Stocks (0-6) winless in the 6pm opener, as the Boy Garcia-coached team will have an overwhelming advantage in manpower with the likes of Elmer Esdrelon, Freddie Pelisamen, Ed Diaz, Rick Alegre, Mhel Manibusan, Edzel Mendoza, and Junar Guiab leading the team.
Old Stocks will try to keep up with a rag-tag group led by veterans Bong Malasarte, Butch Sublemente, and Martin Moreno, plus young speedsters Kovin Ogumoro and Wylie Paez.
Budweiser, for its part, will have a tough challenge in its hands when it tangles with underachieving but dangerous Mover (3-3) in the 7:30pm second game.
The MARPAC- and Pastor Ramir Trinidad-backed team will rely on its deep lineup consisting of Tan Van Buren, Marlon De Dios, Elbyn Cecilia, Peter Camacho, Dennis Vinas, and Sonny Lerio.
Mover, for its part, will counter with Aqua Resort Club stars Dalewin Cortez, Eric Dalangin, Cris Domingo, and Glenn Aquino plus blue-collar mainstays Joy Dayrit, Ron Gamboa, and Ryan Sanciangco.
