Agro, UM score wins in Champion's League
THE Agro Industrial Foundation College and University of Mindanao opened their respective campaign on a high note after scoring separate wins at the start of the Davao eliminations of the 2008 Champion's League Saturday at the Davao City Recreation Center.
The Agro Sailors fought the Ateneo de Davao University Blue Knights in a seesaw battle before navigating to a 76-71 win. Joseph Ambohot and Eugene Torres provided the firepower in the last one minute and eight seconds to secure the victory.

Richard Madelo and Nat Sencio made three-point shots that cut Agro's lead to just two, 73-71, 13 seconds remaining but the taller Agro cagers stepped up when their services were needed the most.
