Rollers Basketball Club-Department of Youth Services Rollers pounced on the Ray Basa Kagman Rollers, 76-49, in Wednesday\u2019s Saipan Rotary Club Youth Basketball League U19 matchup held at the TSL Sports Complex in Gualo Rai.<\/p>\n
DYS Rollers improved its win-loss card to 3-4, while Kagman dropped to just a pair of wins in six games.<\/p>\n
The season continues tomorrow in Gualo Rai with the Sonics (5-1) taking on Hi-5 (3-3) at 5pm.<\/p>\n
The DYS Rollers shared the ball well in the opening eight minutes and built an early 25-19 lead. <\/p>\n
John Cenir paced DYS with six points in the first quarter, while Kagman\u2019s Frank Mettao and Chico Kaipat provided the brunt of their team\u2019s offense, tallying nine points apiece.<\/p>\n
The defense tightened on both ends in the second quarter, but DYS maintained a 32-27 edge at halftime. <\/p>\n
DYS\u2019 Daryl Suarez converted an old-fashioned 3-point play late in the period to keep his team in the driver\u2019s seat.<\/p>\n
Then in the third quarter DYS\u2019 John Darag delivered seven markers as his team surged ahead, 43-32, heading into the final canto.<\/p>\n
Kagman fell out of sync in the period and allowed a lot of easy transition baskets to its rival. Most of Kagman\u2019s turnovers were unforced. <\/p>\n
Sensing weakness at the start of the final period, DYS reloaded and finished the game strong.<\/p>\n
Kagman\u2019s J.R. Pelisamen came off the bench for a string of nine points late in the final frame, but since midway through the third quarter DYS never had a doubt in this one.<\/p>\n
John Cenir led DYS with 13 points, while Kagman\u2019s Mettao managed 15 in the loss.
