Go dominates to win AFP-PNP 3-point Contest

DAVAO City Mayor’s Office sweet-shooting guard Christopher “Bong” Go won the 2015 AFP-PNP Three Points Shoot-out contest officers category once again in dominating fashion on January 5 outgunning one of the most talented fields in the history of the annual side event held before the formal awarding rites.

Go, the trusted executive aide of presidential contender Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, regained the title he won two years ago in a dazzling final round scoring competition best 14 points to the glee of the other participants and fans at the Davao City Recreation Center Almendras Gym.

His final output that nosed out Policeman Ireneo Dalogdog and reigning three point champion Fireman Donald Concepcion was the highest score got by all the participants including those in the non-officers category.

Dalogdog of Police Regional Office Davao placed second while Bureau of Fire Protection’s Concepcion, who showed his shooting prowess in the recently concluded 2015 season, finished third.

Go accepted the trophy but gave away the cash purse that enabled the fourth placer Daniel Pumecha of Davao City Police Office to receive a prize.

Go’s final score tied his output when he bagged the 2013 AFP-PNP three points shoot-out contest. It also equalized the score of James Yap when the Purefoods star placed second to Global Port’s Terence Romeo in the 2015 PBA All-Star Game Three points’ contest.

In the NBA, Golden State Warrior Klay Thompson scored 14 points in the final round of the 2015 NBA All-Star Game Three points contest finishing third behind eventual winner Stephen Curry (28) and Kyrie Irving (17).

It was the second three point’s shoot-out contest title for Go in less than a year.

Go needed only three racks and a half to bag the three point’s shoot-out crown in the preliminary side event of the PBA Davao Tour last March that featured Purefoods Hotshots and Talk and Text Tropang Texters.

He bested a strong field of Davao City’s finest collegiate varsity shooters invited by the PBA to participate in the contest. (RB)
