Arthro inks 4th win in Basak tilt
THE Arthro Kontra Arthritis dribblers extended their blazing run in the Basak San Nicholas Sitio Panaghiusa Fiesta Cup basketball tournament as they roared off to their fourth straight victory in as many games the other day at the Basak San Nicholas Sports Complex.
After barely surviving Sitio Ipil during their third assignment, the Arthro quintet made sure this time to stay away from trouble as they massacred the Tribals, 60-42, to keep their immaculate record intact.
