The Warriors unleashed their superb shooting and ran their plays in the opening quarter tallying 17 points against 4 from the Jaguars.

DEFENDING champions Southwestern University Cobras (SWU) completed a six-game sweep to take the first semifinal slot after an emphatic 88-65 win over the University of Southern Philippine Foundation Panthers (USPF) in the 2013 Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. (Cesafi) basketball tournament at the Cebu Coliseum yesterday.
However, it was the unexpected victory of the Cebu Institute of Technology-University Wildcats over the University of Cebu Webmasters that took the limelight away from the defending champions.
UNIVERSITY of San Carlos small forward Dominic Adlawan and center Charles Pepito and University of Cebu Webmasters forward Windell Santander are the first players to taste the stiff penalties imposed by the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. (Cesafi) to curb brawls.
Last Saturday, Adlawan, Pepito and Santander were sent off from the game, which the Warriors won, 67-64, after they traded blows following a scuffle for the loose ball.
The two-against-one brawl happened near where Commissioner Felix Tiukinhoy Jr. and his deputies, lawyer Marvin Panares, Danny Duran and Dioscoro Himotas, sat.
CHRISTIAN Parker came in late, but University of San Jose-Recoletos (USJ-R) Jaguars coach Edito Salacot did not hesistate and immediately sent the veteran slasher as soon as he changed into his uniform.
Parker, who had to attend an important school activity, quickly made an impact in his little time spent inside the court and scored four crucial points to help the Jaguars survive the rally of the University of Southern Philippines Foundation (USPF) Panthers for a 68-58 win in the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. college game at the University of San Carlos.
“I didn’t have any reservations. His absence (in early part of the game) was valid because he had a school-related activity. When USPF had a rally, I really needed a slasher and a tough defender. And that’s what Christian Parker can provide. So when he suited up, I quickly sent him to play,” Salacot told Sun.Star Cebu.
THE short-handed University of the Visayas Green Lancers arrived expecting an easy game.
Instead, they left with bruised players and damaged egos.
Still, they went home with a hard-earned 82-68 win over the Cebu Institute of Technology-University Wildcats in the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. basketball tournament at the Cebu Coliseum.
