Garapan Rollers I waltzed past Sixers III in the second play date of the 2006 Inter-Village Youth Basketball League Thursday night at the Garapan Basketball Court.<\/p>\n
The home team came out strong and got four points each from Jason Palacios and Rainier Deleon Guerrero to lead 10-2 after the first quarter.<\/p>\n
Garapan slowed down a bit in the second but it hardly mattered as Sixers III continued to fire blanks and trailed by nine points, 5-14, at the break.<\/p>\n
Sixers III brought a more effective offensive punch in the third and outscored Garapan, 6-2, and in the process trimmed their deficit to just five points, 11-16, heading into the final eight minutes of the ballgame.<\/p>\n
G-Rollers, however, were not ready to become the victim of the season\u2019s first upset as they exploded for 24 points in the final canto, while limiting Sixers III to a measly six points, to win by 25.<\/p>\n
Mike Bondoc was the highpoint man for G-Rollers with 16 points, while Jason Palacios added 12. Reinhold Ferrer wound up with four markers to lead Sixers III.<\/p>\n
Garapan Rollers 40 \u2013 Bondoc 16, J. Palacios 12, Danas 4, Deleon Guerrero 4, Ha 2.<\/p>\n
Sixers III 15 \u2013 Ferrer 4, Salem 3, Villanueva 2, Gabrido 2, Villagomez 2, Cadiang 2.<\/p>\n
Scoring by quarters: 10-2, 14-5, 16-11, 40-15.<\/p>\n
