DanDan Middle School and Hopwood Middle School dominated their opponents in the IT&E Interscholastic Boys Middle School Basketball League 2022-2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Tottots won a lopsided 58-19 contest against the Tanapag Middle School Tatagas, while the Hilitais trounced the Grace Christian Academy Eagles, 34-9 last Wednesday at the Marianas High School Gymnasium.<\/p>\n

DMS has maintained their unbeaten record this season, defeating all opponents in their path for eight wins in as many games.<\/p>\n

The Tottots were in control throughout the game\u2014pounding on the Tatagas defensively and stacking up points from every angle.<\/p>\n

By the end of the first half, DMS\u2019 Matua Fejeran scored 6 points of his own, while the passing game and teamwork was a major factor in score contribution. Nine other Tottots made it to teh scoreboard and by the half game buzzer, they had put up 24 points.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Tatagas had a hard time breaking through the Tototts\u2019 defense and struggled to put up 11 points in the first half.<\/p>\n

The second half was a scoring frenzy for the Tottots with Fejeran, Edward Manibusan, and Louis Rectitud taking charge and taking turns at the basket.<\/p>\n

Everyone got a piece of the action as they made at least 2 points each. Fejeran and Manibusan were the leading scorers with 10 each, while Rectitud had 8 markers.<\/p>\n

TMS\u2019 Collin Maratita scored the most with 9 markers. Teammates Jeremiah Yokota shot 6, and Anthon Tudela contributed 5.<\/p>\n

In the Hilitais-Eagles game, the Hilitais stuck it to the Eagles and came out on top.<\/p>\n

The Eagles could not catch a break as they have not won a game this season, but they still played with heart and tried their best.<\/p>\n

The Hilitais just had an overpowering defense so the Eagles could not follow through with their attempts at the basket.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speedy plays by the Hilitais within the paint allowed them to pull away further into the lead by the second half.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Leon Galarse led the Hilitais with his 14 markers, while Chris Esdrelon had 6 of his own.<\/p>\n

The Eagles\u2019 Blaze Sablan scored 4 points, Austin Yumul sank a 3-pointer, and Manuel Magboo scored 2, while Hans Ordas threw in a free throw.<\/p>\n
