Vulcan Arena, Fairview -- With the home-court advantage, the Cresta Verde Mountaineers looked forward to their matchup against Zennings but did give their best against Ciudad Grande Home Owners in their two league match-up last week.

However, they lost by 20 against Owners and succumbed to a 100-88 defeat at the hands of Zennings - both away from their home floor.

Despite being able to predict their game against Home Owners, their onslaught was too much as they exerted more effort with Cris Santuyo, Pavlas Talanovas and Oscar Guerau scored 27, 25 and 20 points respectively.

Fillmore Sabangan led the Mountaineers with 28 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists while Renald Geonanga had a double-double with 22 points and 10 rebounds.

It didn't help as they have twice the number of turnover (18) compared to Owners.

Against Zennings, it was an awful game to watch according to GM Nicolo Maro as he even left the arena on the third quarter.

His team was competitive in the first quarter but was awful in the second with 10 points (18 by Zennings) and atrocious third quarter with 8 points (28 by opponent). He was surprised to see the final score as the Mountaineers was able to score 46 big points in the fourth but with the game already quite a reach.

Claude Regala led all scorers with 30 points - his best game so far. But the night belonged to Zenning as they shot 28 free throws converting 21 compared to the Mountaineers 9 of 16 free throws made and attempted.

"Nothing surprising, we have lost two starters" GM Nicolo Maro said. "we hope we can still make a push and make the playoffs as Marion and Amante are about to return."

I love seeing this press blog in my notification when i log in on my bb account. I guess my BB account wouldnt be the same with out your press blog. I hope others will have the same enjoyment as i have in seeing and reading what you have wrote. Keep up the good work in writing the events of your team.

By the way, are you some kind of a sports writer? If not, try applying for a sport writer job, part time maybe, specially in basketball because you have the pro stuff.

Enjoyed reading your press blog.

Hi JP,

Thanks for your very positive response! I really appreciate it! I thought no one reads the 'press releases', but here's someone appreciating what I've been doing.

I am not a sports writer, basketball is just my passion. I read a lot of news, basketball articles, that's why I'm enjoying writing here.

I try to paste the article in the forums - BB Sports Network - but I personally think that there is a bigger impact with the teams in the same league. Why? Because we get to know the players, how the team performs, and 'what's up' with the teams in the league.

Kumbaga we understand the situation here rather than make it available for everyone to read but they could not possibly appreciate it.

I definitely could improve my writing but I have a lot of things going on in life. BB is my favorite pastime with all the things I do.

Goodluck with your games, all the best!

Thank you and best regards,
Nico
