Yu lifts Eco-Tech vs. Maxxis in overtime
Wellington Yu’s three-point play off an offensive rebound with three seconds remaining powered Eco-Tech to a 100-98 overtime victory Friday over Maxxis Tires in the 2005 Cebu Eastern College Friendship Cup’s doubleheader at the CEC Gym.
The other match of the night likewise went the extra mile before Osaka Iridology, powered by the 45-point performance of Noly Romarate, pulled off a 120-117 win over Disston Paints in the 32-Above division.
Saved
With his team trailing by one, 97-98, Yu, a 6-foot-4 former Cebu Doctors’ College (CDC) stalwart, saved a botched Eco-Tech play by securing the offensive rebound, converting on the putback and drawing a foul in the process.
Yu, who finished with nine points, then knocked down the charity throw and clinched Eco-Tech’s sixth win in seven games. Eco-Tech now sits firmly at solo third place in the 32-Below division, trailing undefeated squads Tinong’s Bakery (7-0) and Sirlitz (6-0).
Eco-Tech playmaker Anwar Satina, whose last-second bucket forced the game into overtime, topscored with 36 points, while ex-CDC swingman Michael Duran chipped in 27 points. Jason Chan was the other double-digit performer for Eco-Tech with 13 points.
