The JMC Kings led by four points after the first half, 37-33, and third quarter, 54-50, but the EAC Generals of coach Gerald Esplaña and assistant Andy De Guzman caught up in the fourth payoff period to deadlock the score at 55-55 and 57-57 at the eight-minute mark. A baseline jumper by Ralph Sanchez gave EAC a 64-59 advantage.
However, JMC, which is operated by Pastor Apollo Quiboloy and mentored by Dong Cagampang and his assistants Dindo Pastor and Nick Serafica, put together an 8-0 run to regain a 67-64 edge.
After King star Joshua Adalid struck for a twinner with barely a minute left for a 69-66 JMC lead, the Generals’ Jan Jamon struck for five consecutive points, including a three-point play, to go ahead, 71-69, with 16 ticks remaining.
Two free throws by burly EAC frontliner Francis Cutin two seconds later deadlocked the count at 71-all and sent the game into a five-minute extension.
EAC was ahead, 75-74, on a putback by Jamon when JMC scored six consecutive points, including a three by Adalid, to take the upperhand, 80-75, with 10 seconds left. Jamon knocked in a triple at the buzzer to finalize the score.
JMC, which was also supported by Judge Jaime Quitain, the BAP Regional 11 director, was powered by Joshua Adalid, who chalked up 16 points and earned Most Valuable Player honors in the process. Three other Kings scored in double digits – John Philip Refuerzo, 13, Reynaldo Casanillo, 12; and Bob Ombecan, 10.
EAC, which also dropped a 76-72 decision to JMC during their elimination-round encounter, got 19 points from Jamon, 15 from Ralph Sanchez, and 12 from South Africa Cameron’s center Noube Happi.
The Kings took home the championship hardware donated by Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, the BAP president, and earned the right to represent the country in the 9th Asian University Basketball Championship (AUBC) to be held in July in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
