With all the attention coming in the top tier secondary school teams that are grouped into Div I & Div II of the Metro Manila Basketball League (MMBL), the Reedley Silverbacks are flying in under the radar in their first stint in the league.
The school from Pasig are currently unbeaten in Div III-B of the MMBL after they demolished La Salle - Lipa, 71-43 for their third straight victory.
The combination of Jay Javelosa and Karbala Gueye was too much for La Salle-Lipa to handle, as the duo by themselves went on an 18-4 run to establish a 36-21 lead, while on the defensive end, their size forced their opponents to shoot from outside the lane.
Javelosa finished with 19 points and 14 rebounds while Gueye had 20 and 20 for the Nat Imson-coached side.
Ranger Dimaunahan led La Salle-Lipa with 14 markers.
In the MMBL's Div IV, Espiritu Santo Parochial School withstood a comeback from Southridge-C to secure a 68-59 win.
ESPS were up 20 early in the third before Jag Dagelet sparked Southridge's rally. The guard's defense, along with the offense from Mateo Gonzales, Alvin Yco and Kyle Trinidad cut the lead down to eight.
However, ESPS regained their momentum once Dagelet replaced and even when he returned to the floor, it was not enough to stem the tide.
