The Perpetual Junior Altas-Palawan Yurich Builder claimed the 18-Under Division championship in the Junior Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League, defeating Rizal Province Switch Fiber in a thrilling Game 2.
It was a fitting Christmas gift for Perpetual as the Junior Altas-Palawan Yurich Builder displayed poise and survived Rizal Province Switch Fiber, 88-84, to cop the 18-Under Division crown of the Junior Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League Monday, Dec. 23, at the Home of the Altas Gym in Pamplona III, Las Pinas City.
Going all-out in the title-clinching Game 2, Lebron Daep looked like a man on a mission after hitting back-to-back baskets then Louie Rosales sank his free throws in the waning seconds to create enough separation and conclude the best-of-three finals series. Daep shone bright in the pulsating contest, scoring 26 points that went with 11 rebounds, two assists, two steals and three blocks – a statline that helped him bring home the Finals MVP plum. Rosales also starred with 29 points on top of four rebounds, three assists and four steals while John Corpuz and TJ Abbuan added 11 and 10, respectively, for the Junior Altas. Rizal Province skipper Seann Franco went off to an all-around effort of 19 points, eight rebounds, two assists, three steals and a block which all went down the drain. Meanwhile, the San Pedro Spartans snared 16-Under Division National Title via a 109-99 win over the San Juan Mighty Warriors in Game 2 Finals. On the other hand, Binan Tatak Gel reigned supreme in the 14-Under Division after a 82-68 romp of Rizal Switch Fiber. During the awarding ceremony, tournament commissioner Kieth Picazo handed the elegant trophy with the character of boxing icon Manny Pacquiao to head coach Joph Cleopas of Palawan Team together with Frank Gusi of Team Perpetual Altas
