The Rollers coasted to a 53-30 win over the Ol\u2019Aces to rule the U14 division of the 2014 BANMI Youth League last Saturday at the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium.<\/p>\n
The Rollers used a 20-8 scoring exchange to turn a 6-7 deficit early in the first half to a 26-15 advantage at the turn.<\/p>\n
Christian Arceo and Aaron Ogumoro spearheaded the Rollers\u2019 scoring attack, as the Ol\u2019Aces failed to keep up with their opponents\u2019 offense the entire game.<\/p>\n
The Ol\u2019Aces tried to contain Arceo and Ogumoro, at times double or triple-teaming them but to no avail as both Rollers players found ways to score. Arceo and Ogumoro finished with a game-high 16 points each, while Finals MVP Angelo Factor scattered 10 markers. Ogumoro was named the regular season MVP and also claimed the scoring champion award.<\/p>\n
The Rollers totally dominated the Ol\u2019Aces in the second half to cruise their way to the division crown.<\/p>\n
Kimo Ainganen tried to get the Ol\u2019Aces back in the game, but failed to get the needed scoring support.<\/p>\n
Ainganen was the lone Ol\u2019Aces player to score in double digits with his 16 points, while Shakobee Rangamar chipped in 6. Donovan Ada, Patrick Manglona, Alvin Pua and Greg Sablan added 2 points apiece.<\/p>\n
Earlier, DYS overcame a 13-point deficit in the first half to rally past Tinian, 45-41, in the battle for third place.<\/p>\n
Trailing 12-25 at the half, DYS erupted for 33 points to complete the come-from-behind win and clinch third place in the annual youth basketball league.<\/p>\n
Chevy Alipio put on a one-man scoring show for DYS with her 20 points, while Duncan Laxa, Khristian Itaas and Sean Aitisan contributed 8, 6 and 5 markers. Ken Osagawara had 4 and Geo Salvani 2 to round up DYS\u2019 scorers.<\/p>\n
Juanis King and Dustin Sablan made 12 points each for Tinian, which also clinched the sportsmanship trophy.<\/p>\n
