Top seeds sweep Chooks 3×3 Leg 2 pool stages
Zamboanga City leads the tournament favorites heading into the next round with a perfect slate

Top-ranked teams Family’s Brand Sardines-Zamboanga City Chooks, Uling Roasters-Butuan, Big Boss Cement-Porac MSC, and Nueva Ecija Rice Vanguards swept their respective pools in Leg 2 of the 2020 Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas 3×3 President’s Cup powered by TM on Friday, October 23.

Alvin Pasaol powered Zambo City to a dominant 21-13 (8:41) win over Pasig to sweep Pool B.

The second-ranked 3×3 player in the country tallied 7 points in another all-around performance in this tournament sanctioned by the Games and Amusements Board and endorsed by FIBA 3×3.

“One game at a time pa rin ang mindset namin,” said the Davao City-native as they head to the knockout playoffs against sister team Bacolod-Masters Sardines.

Equally impressive was Franky Johnson, who fired a day-high 14 markers to lead Butuan City to a 21-13 (5:58) triumph over Bicol-PAXFUL 3×3 Pro to win both of their games in Pool C.

“We gotta pace. It’s still a long day,” said Johnson.

Butuan will take on the Sarangani Marlins in the quarterfinals.

Nueva Ecija, on the other hand, relied on their steady big man Mac Sabellina to escape Sarangani, 21-16 (8:56), to gain the top seed in Pool A.

Closing out pool play was the fastest game of the day, a 21-11 (4:14) demolition by Porac of Pagadian Rocky Sports.

Ryan Monteclaro torched Pagadian to the tune of 10 points, all from two-point country.

Nueva Ecija faces Bicol while Porac squares off against Pasig in this tournament airing on BEAM TV Channel 31, Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas’ Facebook page, and FIBA 3×3’s YouTube channel.

Besides the knockout round that has a P100,000 prize at stake, also taking place is the TM side events, the Slam Dunk Contest and the Two-Point Shootout. – Rappler.com
