PRIMETIME played team HOYAS (17-7-0) to a scoreless tie throughout
regulation and almost went to an overtime period. But in the last
twenty-four seconds of the 4 quarter, team PRIMETIME was down
3 points, 52-55, and guard Marlowe “ACE” Banatao also was voted
and received a crystal award for the BEST POINT GUARD in FilCom,
fake a three points shot, as his defender jumped in towards Marlowe
and tried to block the shots, and tried to avoid fouling Marlowe.
But, Marlowe is one of the smartest point guard, as he uses his body
and was fouled, and going to the free throw line to tie the score,
but Marlowe missed all the three shots and PRIMETIME had no choice
but to foul. It was a great game, players, family and spectators that
they will never forget. "My players understand that no matter who we
play, as long as we play our game and play hard and play with a lot
of passion and pride, it doesn't matter what team we're playing, what
color uniform they're wearing or where they're from, we will play hard
till the scoreboard hit zero" said Ryan, team captain from HOYAS. When
HOYAS won the semi finals last week againts the STAGS, that game gave
them a lot of motivation, and they finally realize that they could do this.
HOYAS defense has been playing fantastic. Their center Lopez Lupe,
the Regular Season MVP has been holding down the middle of the court.
Their forwards players have been a great help too, throughout the season,
it's been one or the other. But since they've gotten all three working together,
they've been tough to stop. The first half of the game, the score was going back
and forth, at the half it was tie game 28-28. HOYAS was missing all thier free-throws
and trying to take a big lead, but PRIMETIME always bounce back and score. The champs
also is hampered with one injury heading into the championship. Marlowe was injured
during the playoffs when they played DC Bullets. Marlowe twisted his ankle when he
landed in a wrong possesion, that his ankle is at 80 percent. With less than a week
until the PRIMETIME championship game against the HOYAS, Marlowe's ankle was not 100 percent.
The MVP CHAMPION went to Mark Costa with 14 points and 8 rebounds and he was helped
by David with 11 points and 5 rebounds with hard fought victory over the 2nd-time
defending champions PRIMETIME,60-55. The PRIMETIME had Marlowe "ACE" Banatao with 15 points and 2 rebounds, with Isiah and Alex Martin both scored 10 points apiece in a big lost.
ALL PLAYERS KEEP PLAYING HARD AND SEE YOU ALL NEXT SEASON. REMEMBER THE WATCHER IS ALWAYS WATCHING.
