Monroyo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Shirley\u2019s Coffee Shop whipped GPPC, 82-69, during the curtain-raiser in the 2016 Emon Lodge No. 179 Brotherhood\/IT&amp;E Basketball League last Wednesday at the Civic Center Basketball Court.<\/p>\n<p>Young guns Matt Duenas and Sean Rabasto towed Shirley\u2019s to the twin-digit winning margin as they combined for more than half of the team\u2019s total production. Duenas fired 23 points, while Rabasto added 22. Two other Shirley\u2019s players finished in double figures with Perry Inos tallying 15 and Jaymark De Guzman contributing 14.<\/p>\n<p>Duenas, Rabasto, Inos, and De Guzman teamed up for 23 points in the opening quarter to lift Shirley\u2019s to 26-15 advantage. Shirley\u2019s never relinquished the double-digit spread at the end of the three remaining periods as Duenas and Rabasto were still on target and Inos and De Guzman backed them up.<\/p>\n<p>Rabasto started the second canto with a triple, while Duenas knocked in 6 of the team\u2019s last 8 points in that frame for a 41-31 halftime lead. Then in the third quarter, it was Inos\u2019 turn to work with Duenas, as they totaled for 12 points to stretch Shirley\u2019s advantage to 14, 59-45.<\/p>\n<p>Rabasto closed out for Shirley\u2019s adding 8 more points, while John Jugos came off the bench and made all his 7 markers to secure the easy victory for their team.<\/p>\n<p>Gary Norial paced GPPC\u2019s losing cause with his 17 markers.<\/p>\n<p>In the second game, Blue Haus outclassed JP World, 63-55.<\/p>\n<p>Elmer Esdrelon led the victory, as he drilled 21 points. Junar Guiab and Angelo  Fernando provided support to Esdrelon after logging 14 and 12 points, respectively. The three alternately hit baskets in the fourth quarter to prevent JP World from overhauling Blue Haus\u2019 lead.<\/p>\n<p>Lerio Pagarao had 21 points for JP World, which drew contributions from only five players and fell short in its comeback bid after behind held to 9 markers in the final canto.<\/p>\n<p><strong>First Game<\/strong><br \/>\nShirley\u2019s 82\u2014Duenas 23, Rabasto 22, Inos 15, De Guzman 14, Jugos 7, Dela Rosa 2, Pamintuan 2.<\/p>\n<p>GPPC 69\u2014Norial 17, Ocampo 14, Mungcal 13, Sampang 12, Advincula 4, Tagle 3, Corpuz 2.<\/p>\n<p>Scoring by quarters: 26-15, 41-31, 59-45, 82-69.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Second Game<\/strong><br \/>\nBlue Haus 63\u2014Esdrelon 21, Guiab 14, Fernando 12, Talania 6, Barbo 6, Santos 2, Manalo 2.<\/p>\n<p>JP World 55\u2014Pagarao 21, Barrios 15, Villacrusis 9, Borja 6, Mangali 4.<\/p>\n<p>Scoring by quarters: 15-16, 24-28, 48-46, 63-55.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shirley\u2019s Coffee Shop whipped GPPC, 82-69, during the curtain-raiser in the 2016 Emon Lodge No&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":222899,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[146,263,3699,7473],"class_list":["post-222885","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-blue-haus","tag-gppc","tag-jaymark-de-guzman","tag-matt-duenas"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222885","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=222885"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222885\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/222899"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=222885"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=222885"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=222885"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
