UAAP 86 JHSBB: DLSZ, FEU-D remain on top after contrasting wins


DE LA SALLE-Zobel and Far Eastern University-Diliman took contrasting victories to remain tied at the helm in the UAAP Season 86 Junior High School Basketball Tournament on Saturday.

The Junior Archers drubbed debuting archrivals Ateneo de Manila University Blue Eagles, 91-64, while the Baby Tamaraws escaped neighbors University of the East Junior Warriors, 84-82, at the Adamson Gym in San Marcelino, Manila.

Unlike its 73-71 win over UE on opening day last week, DLSZ hardly broke a sweat against Ateneo, leading wire-to-wire to secure its second win.

Melvin Tailan led the way for the Archers with 19 points while Tomas Cruz notched a double-double with 17 points and 13 rebounds.

Javi Dimayuga and Vince Magan chipped in 16 points apiece as well for DLSZ, which will next face idle National University Nazareth School on Sunday, March 24, 9 a.m. at FEU-FERN Gym in Diliman.

Down 79-82 with just under a minute left, Cagurungan drained a clutch trey to knot things up.

After getting a stop, he then went for a daredevil drive, scoring the go-ahead basket plus the harm with 11.4 seconds left.

Though he missed his free throw, FEU-D was able to secure the rebound and the victory.

Cagurungan finished with a line of 18 points and eight rebounds. Travis Pascual scored a game-high 23 points.

“Maganda itong tournament na ito kasi nabibigyan kagad ng magandang competition yung mga bata,” said Baby Tamaraws head coach Mark Isip, a former PBA pro for 10 years and a UAAP champion with FEU.
