True North Mafia proved it was definitely the real OG in the A+ Division of the 2021-2022 Saipan Electronic Darts Association Bud Light Dart League that held its awards banquet last Saturday at The Magellan of the Pacific Islands Club Saipan.<\/p>\n

The team finished tied with 6JMS Pythons with a 162-144 win-loss record after the season, but gave their opponents an offer it couldn\u2019t refuse in the tiebreaker to win the premier division of the league. In the race to nine games, True North Mafia took down 6JMS Pythons, 9-5.<\/p>\n

Team captain Ray \u201cUdas\u201d Cepeda attributed True North Mafia\u2019s success in their recent campaign to his fellow players\u2019 commitment to the team and their unrivaled chemistry. <\/p>\n

\u201cCommitment and just playing by having fun\u2026All of them are good and all of us have one heart,\u201d he told Saipan Tribune.<\/p>\n

The A+ Division title capped a meteoric rise for True North Mafia. Prior to moving up to the unofficial masters division of SEDA, the team had won championships in the A, B, and C divisions as well as in the inter-government league.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is our first time to win in the \u2018masters\u2019 league. It\u2019s only our second season in the \u2018masters\u2019 and last season we finished third place. The good thing about my players is that they never get really mad, win or lose,\u201d said Cepeda, who thanked their sponsoring sports bar, True North in Garapan for supporting them the entire season.<\/p>\n

The rest of the True North Mafia team is made up of Jayson John, Alfred Hocog, Joker Camacho, Patrick \u201cTako\u201d Taitano, and Derrick Ayuyu.<\/p>\n

Finishing third after True North Mafia and 6JMS Pythons was the latter\u2019s sister team, 6JMS Thunder Darts.<\/p>\n

In the A Division, 6JMS Drunker Dragons breathed fire and won with a 195-140 record, followed by 6JMS Thunder Darts (191-149) and Jonny\u2019s Ridin\u2019 Darty (168-115) for second and third place, respectively. The champion 6JMS Drunker Dragons are led by skipper Raymond \u201cYatz\u201d Naluz with Tony \u201cThe Tiger\u201d Castro, Ronald Doria, Kenneth \u201cKenpatchi\u201d Kaneshi, Chris \u201cCupCake\u201d Omnes, and Gigi \u201cBadong\u201d Gatmaitan as teammates. <\/p>\n

True North CUC Power Generation surged to the championship of the Inter-Government League with its 130-95 win-loss ranking. It was followed by 6JMS CNMI Guardians (117-108) and True North Dart Magic (115-110). Patrick \u201cTako\u201d Taitano is the team captain of True North CUC Power Generation and the rest of the players are Ray \u201cUdas\u201d Cepeda, Joe Mu\u00f1a, Dexter Rabauliman, Jess \u201cPinatubo\u201d Villar, and Joker Camacho. <\/p>\n

Results of the C Division, Tuesday B Division, Flame Tree B Division, and Fanihi B Division will be published in tomorrow\u2019s issue of Saipan Tribune.
