ANTIQUE, Philippines – Davao Region’s (Region XI) defense and outside shooting proved to be too much to handle for Cagayan Valley (Region II) as they continue their dominance in the group stages of the Palarong Pambansa secondary basketball boys, clobbering Region II, 90-72, to clinch a quarterfinals berth on Wednesday, April 26.
“Since my players are small, we emphasized on our outside shooting and our full court pressure,” Region XI Coach Nestor Sorrosa pointed out after the game.
“Kahit bata ang mga players ko, kayang kaya nila makisabay sa mga big and tall na kalaban,” he added. (Even though my players are young, they can match the play of the big and tall opponents.)

CAVRAA started moving the ball in the 3rd quarter as Ghirome Bayani dished out flashy passes to push Region II into the lead after an 11-0 run.
DAVRAA utilized a 21-2 scoring run at the end of the 3rd to blow the game wide open, outscoring CAVRAA 34-16 in the quarter. The 20-point lead of DAVRAA was enough to keep CAVRAA off bay in the game’s final canto as Region II made another 8-0 run in the fourth.
