Ada Gymnasium. (Roselyn B. Monroyo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Isaiah defeated Gideon, 68-58, last Monday at the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium to improve to a 4-0 record, the same mark Daniel holds after whipping Joshua, 73-53, last Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel built an early double-digit lead in the first half, 33-19, and protected the driver\u2019s seat in the second half behind Angelo Hernaez\u2019s consistent scoring. Hernaez finished with a game-high 19 points, 12 of them came in the second half. Point guard Andrew Palino backed him up, adding 11 markers, while seven other Daniel players contributed at least two field goals apiece for the team\u2019s balance scoring.<\/p>\n<p>Darwin Gonzales had 12 markers to lead Joshua, which fell to a 1-3 record and lost its last three matches.<\/p>\n<p>In last Monday\u2019s first game, Isaiah had a strong finish to thwart Gideon.<\/p>\n<p>After holding a shaky 52-51 lead down to the last four minutes of the match, Isaiah went on a 16-7 windup en route to the double-digit winning margin.<\/p>\n<p>Lefty Marlo Ibanez took care of business for Isaiah in the closing minutes, scoring 8 of the team\u2019s last 16 points. His triple gave Isaiah more breathing room, 55-51 and then he went 3-for-4 from the foul line to keep the team\u2019s same distance. His layup under the 1-minute mark of the match pegged the final score.<\/p>\n<p>Gideon failed to overhaul Isaiah\u2019s lead as it committed several turnovers in the homestretch, while the latter turned those miscues into points.<\/p>\n<p>Ibanez led all scorers with his 26 points, while Walter Brillo chipped in 10. Isagani Cortez, Francis Estanislao and Greg De Leon combined for 22 more points for Isaiah.<\/p>\n<p>Bradley Demapan paced Gideon with his 17 points. Gideon is at the bottom half of the team standings with its even 2-2 slate.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, results of last Monday\u2019s second game between Samuel and Caleb along with the Jeremiah-Ezekiel tiff last Friday will be reported in Saipan Tribune\u2019s Thursday edition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday<\/strong><br \/>\nDaniel 73 \u2013 Hernaez 19, Palino 11, Nunez 6, Valderama 6, Del Rio 6, Ong 6, Robles 6, Pablo 5, Joson 4, Borromeo 2, Del Carmen 2.<\/p>\n<p>Joshua 53 \u2013 Gonzales 12, Dequito 10, Abe 8, Isip 7, Chavez 7, Ibanez 7, Sayas 2.<\/p>\n<p>Scoring by halves: 33-19, 73-53.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Monday<\/strong><br \/>\nIsaiah 68 \u2013 Ibanez 26, Brillo 10, Cortez 8, De Leon 7, Estanislao 7, Puno 2, Arroyo 2, Gragasin 2, Buno 2, Vergara 2.<\/p>\n<p>Gideon 58 \u2013 Demapan 17, Ocampo 13, Buniag 8, Borja 8, David 6, Santos 4, Palma 2.<\/p>\n<p>Scoring by halves: 34-35, 68-58.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Isaiah and Daniel kept their unbeaten records in the 4th Genesis Cup Christian Churches Inter-Color&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":194196,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[145,3017,38,3018],"class_list":["post-194189","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-ada-gymnasium","tag-lefty-marlo-ibanez","tag-saipan-tribune","tag-walter-brillo"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194189","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=194189"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194189\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/194196"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=194189"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=194189"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=194189"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
