KSA - Team Admin bounce back in ARCC Cagefest

JUAYMAH (ARCC Cagefest) - After a stinging loss in their last outing against Flare Tip Project, Team Admin bounced back with a vengeance downing Purchasing-Accounting-PCD-Engineering (PAPE Team) via lopsided 75-51 win as the Al Rushaid Construction Company Ltd. - EEI Corporations (ARCC-EEI) 5th Annual Sports Fest enter its third week of elimination round at the jam-packed Juaymah Main Camp in this city.

True to their words, the Team Admin dressed out wild with all star Hilario Castillo turning a game-high 22 points, while sharp shooter and court general Noel B. Tejada and defendable wingman Paul A. Nunez contributed 13 and 16 points respectively.

The undermanned PAPE five tried to apply pressures against the Admin with the seasoned trio of Paul Espina, Victor Berdin and Patrick Morales combined for a total of 32 points.

The PAPE led in the first quarter with Manny Torralba sinking consecutive baskets but had a so-so performance after Admin Team controlled the ball throughout the match.

But the boys of Richard Barry Cruz and Joey J. Rosal proved to be unstoppable as they dictated the tempo, coming up with a strong finishing kick to complete the crucial win.

"This is the true Dream Admin Team; I hope we can sustain our winning forms in the succeeding games", said beaming coach Richard Barry Cruz.
