The Kagman High School Ayuyus boys basketball varsity team was on fire after blazing through four consecutive games and are currently undefeated, 4-0, in the 2022-2023 IT&E Interscholastic Boys High School Basketball League.<\/p>\n

On the Ayuyus\u2019 most recent conquest, the Saipan Southern High School Ayuyus fell to their knees, 69-75, in a wildfire game last Friday in the air-conditioned but electric atmosphere of the Marianas High School Gymnasium.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Coached by Adrian Flores, the Ayuyus had a fiery lineup running on a hot-streak of momentum they carried from a win against Saipan International School two days prior.\u00a0<\/p>\n

From the jump, Frankie Satur scored a field goal\u2014immediately followed by a 3-pointer by Anthony Dikito.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Manta Rays did not let up easily though as a 3-pointer also made it in from the jumper of Rasg Asuo\u2014who ended up shooting four more 3 -pointers and scored a total of 24 points.

In the second half, the Ayuyus\u2019 Lucio Aldan stoked the fire lit by his teammates early on as he took it upon himself to secure their fourth W, as majority of the buckets he attempted sank in with precision\u2014earning him a staggering 32 points\u2014two of which were 3-pointers and 7 were free throws.<\/p>\n

Throughout the game, the Ayuyus and Manta Rays were neck-and-neck, with the Mantas not giving up their run for the lead as Elijah Garcia added 22 points, John Kae Raquepo 10 points, and Christian Lucero 9.<\/p>\n

However, the Ayuyus overpowered them on the defense as well and had extra assists from Nobet Hocog and Austin Diaz\u2019s 10 points each and Anthony Dikito\u2019s 9 points, ending the game 75-69.<\/p>\n
