Tuesday, October 28, 2008 Cebu Niños top pre-season event
THE M. Lhuillier-Cebu Niños continued their dominance as they scored another championship finish in the 2008 Liga Pilipinas Mindanao Pre-Season game in Davao Oriental last Sunday.
The Niños defeated the Montaña Pawnshop-Davao, 91-85, in the knockout championships for their first championship title after winning the First Conference title last September.
The Niños finished No.2 in the three-day elimination round of the four-team field that also included Lipa-Batangas Barakos and Misamis Oriental Meteors.
The Niños escaped with a 67-66 win over the Meteors last Wednesday. They suffered a humbling 78-82 loss from the hands of Montaña-Davao before pulling ahead 92-72 in their final elimination round game last Friday to settle for the second place after the classification round.
Cebu again dominated the Meteors, 77-72, in the semifinals to forge a championship showdown with the Davao squad. (RCM)
