Eagles soar high in SHABA All-Star Game
October 16, 2006 | 12:00am
Young bloods composing the Eagles division All-Stars reigned in this year's Sacred Heart Alumni Basketball Association (SHABA) Basketball Tournament All-Star Game late last week at the SHS-Jesuit gym.
The Eagles won against the Lux Oriens, 74-70.
The Eagles division composed of Sacred Hearters, who graduated on an odd-numbered year boasted a very young team while the Lux Oriens division for those who graduated in an even-numbered year featured mostly veteran players.
The action, however, didn't come out predictable with both squads exchanging leads several times.
If Chad Canares, the veteran leader of the Lux Oriens team makes a basket, Elddie Cabahug of batch 2005, the youngest player in the Eagles, would immediately respond with a rainbow connection.
Then, if Antonio Datan, also from batch 2005, makes a nifty low post move, another veteran Ericson Arienza would respond with a triple.
Gio Borromeo, however, was an early bet for the Most Valuable Player award as he lead the Lux Oriens team all throughout the three quarters with 17 points, but the Eagles' Antonio Datan got the most coveted award at the end.
This after Datan carried his team in the final stretch enroute to victory for the Eagles. Datan ended with 14 points.
Lux Oriens, however, got a consolation with Ericson Arienza winning the three-point shoot-out.
Last year's defending champion, Batch 2005's Elddie Cabahug was immediately dethroned in the first round as he failed to take the top 4 slots occupied by Batch 97's Walter Ong, Batch 96's Omar Siarot, Batch 2006's Patrick Jacobe and Batch 94's Ericson Arienza.
Although Arienza had the lowest score going into the second round, he caught fire all throughout the next round by swishing three-point shot one after another to eventually become the new 3-point king.
The scores
Eagles (74) - Cabahug 16, Datan 14, Edquilla 12,Mangubat 8, Cabrera 6, Ong 6, Carillo 6, Guanzon 4, Comeros 2
