𝙎𝙋𝙊𝙍𝙏𝙎 𝙁𝙀𝘼𝙏𝙐𝙍𝙀| 𝙍𝙈𝘾 𝘿𝙖𝙫𝙖𝙤 𝙊𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙥𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙍𝙈𝘾 𝙏𝙖𝙜𝙪𝙢, 85–50, 𝙞𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘽𝙖𝙨𝙠𝙚𝙩𝙗𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙎𝙝𝙤𝙬𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙣

In a highly anticipated inter-branch basketball clash, Rizal Memorial Colleges (RMC) Davao asserted their dominance with a resounding 85–50 victory over RMC Tagum, showcasing superior ex*****on, teamwork, and court awareness from start to finish.

Both teams opened strong in the first half, trading baskets and applying full-court pressure to set an intense pace. The first quarter was marked by quick transitions, tight man-to-man defense, and impressive ball movement from both sides.

Momentum shifted in the second quarter when Campomanes found his rhythm from downtown, draining multiple three-pointers that stretched RMC Tagum’s defense. His hot hand ignited Davao’s offense, while Alverio displayed exceptional game control—dictating tempo, facilitating plays, and making smart reads that kept Tagum’s defense guessing.

By the fourth quarter, Labandero, who was later hailed as the Player of the Game, sealed the deal with a spectacular offensive run. His combination of explosive drives, accurate perimeter shooting, and relentless hustle proved too much for the opposition, propelling RMC Davao to a decisive win.

Despite the score gap, both teams exhibited remarkable sportsmanship and pride, playing with intensity and heart under the banner of the same institution. Their shared passion reflected the true spirit of the game—competition fueled by camaraderie.

A big thanks and appreciation are extended to Mrs. Gel Marie Tiboron, Principal of RMC Davao, for her unwavering support, and to Area Director Dr. Musico for their continuous encouragement and dedication to both teams. Their leadership and presence greatly inspired the players to perform at their best.
