THE home crowd has something to cheer on as their own boy emerged as the biggest winner in the first Northern Mindanao stop of the 2018 Cebuana Lhuillier Age Group tennis tournament held March 2-6 in the towns of Lala and Maranding in Lanao del Norte.
Maranding native Heinz Aslan Carbonilla produced a double-whammy when he finished the five-day netfest with two individual titles to show in the singles events. Carbonilla never gave Abdel Qadzri Matarul of Pulacan, Zamboanga del Sur any quarter in a 6-0, 6-0 conquest to win the 12-under boys jewel.
He returned in the 14-under boys final to overpower John Christopher Sonsona of Tubod in another sweeping manner, 6-0, 6-1.
“It was Heinz’ moment. He had the field day in Lanao Norte’s first swing of the Cebuana Lhuillier netfest kay wala sab ang uban nga banggiitan sama sa mga taga Cagayan de Oro,” said the tourney’s Viz-Min area organizer Mario Inguito Craiz.
Other winners of the Philta-sanctioned Group 2 event that attracted 142 entries were Kyne Solis of Tangub City (10 unisex), Angel Denopol of Kolambugan (12 girls), Afeah Rose Tabudlong of Aurora, Zamboanga del Sur (14 girls), Stephen Zion Guia of Dipolog City (16 boys), Rovie Baulete of Iligan City (16 girls), Andrei Cuevas of Baroy, LDN (18 boys) and Carmeville Gervacio of Ozamis City (18 girls).
