MHS overcame a slow start in trouncing Mt. Carmel School, 74-36, for its 11th straight win, while SSHS kept Marianas Baptist Academy winless after hammering out a 76-42 decision.<\/p>\n

Southern currently sits in second place with a 7-3 record followed by MCS\u2019 7-4 slate. MHS could have swept the elimination round as it was still playing MBA at press time.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins found themselves trailing by a point after the first 10 minutes of play as William Camacho scored 8 of the Knights\u2019 16 points.<\/p>\n

But MCS wasn\u2019t ready for a flood of points and like a sleeping giant, MHS poured in 24 markers in the second quarter to enter the break enjoying a 39-23 spread.<\/p>\n

MHS did not slow down from there while turnovers and hurried shots did not help Mt. Carmel\u2019s cause.<\/p>\n

Ethan Manalili scored the Dolphins\u2019 first 10 points in the first quarter and finished with 12, while Michael Espinosa and Kobee Mendoza chipped in 11 and 9 markers each. Karlo De Leon, Prince Factor, and DJay Ong combined for 24.<\/p>\n

Camacho was the lone Knight to hit double digits with 12, while Son Jung Hyun and Zander Tkel finished scored 6 apiece.<\/p>\n

In the second game, Mi\u2019i Tekopua tallied 14 points to lead three other SSHS players who break the 10-point barrier with Ryan Esmundo, Joseph Taitano, and Edilberto Javier Jr. contributing 12, 11, and 10 markers.<\/p>\n

The Manta Rays also found themselves trailing by 3 after the first quarter, but stepped on the gas in the second to pull away and never looked back.<\/p>\n

Christian Kim scored 16 to pace MBA\u2019s losing cause, while Lim Soo Yo ended up with 13.<\/p>\n

It was a double-victory celebration for the Rays as its SSHS 9 squad downed MHS 9, 46-31.<\/p>\n

N-Nes Siech scored 5 straight points and dished off a pass to Jethro Cruz, who converted the fastbreak layup as SSHS 9 ended the first period holding on to a 15-11 lead.<\/p>\n

Both teams slowed down in the second and the Rays pulled away in the second to complete the win.<\/p>\n

June Alipio and Emmanuel Cobacha scored 12 points each, while Siech finished with 10.<\/p>\n

No MHS 9 player hit double figures with Matthew Mamaril coming up with 9, while Adrian De Lun and John Carlo Prado had 7 and 5 points, respectively.<\/p>\n
