Third-year ace power forward Javi Gomez de Liano showed his monstrous form, scoring 26 points and 11 rebounds, pacing the Junior Maroons in their win.
Graduating players Joe Gomez de Liano and Team Captain Enzo Barraquias both had great games in their last time wearing the Junior Maroon uniform, combining 22 points and 19 rebounds.
The key for the win was ball movement, as the Junior Maroons dished a team total of 24 assists, compared to the Junior Warrior’s 10 dimes.
The Junior Maroons fought toe-to-toe with the Junior Warriors in the opening quarter, with the latter getting the lead at the end of the first, 19-20.
With 4:54 left in the second quarter and the Maroons up 30-29, Barraquias suffered a cut in the right forehead after a head collision with UE’s Camillus Altamirano. That seemed to be the turning point of the game as the Maroons went on to grab the second quarter, 41-34.
The Maroons never looked back after that as they extended the lead in the second half. The largest lead of the game was 30 points, 93-63, at the 0:59 mark of the final quarter after reserve Matt Santiago knocked down two free throws.
Team captain Barraquias was all praises for the team in their win.
“Everyone stepped up. We had 24 assists compared sa whole season average naming na 7,” he said.
He also has good words for the future Junior Maroons team.
“They’re in good hands. Nangyari na ang worst case scenario and 1 year pa lang sila nagsasama-sama. Ngayon may 3 additional players, malaking tulong ito para sa team lalo na nandiyan si Gozum, he said.
Will Allen Gozum is skilled third-year center acquired by UPIS this season but sat out this season to complete his residency.
Barraquias added that the team is already talented but needs to improve certain aspects of their game such as focus, discipline, and teamwork. / by Macky Barrientos
