Week 6 of the FILAC Basketball League promises another exciting day of action at Rosedale Traditional Community School. The Masters and Open Divisions are heating up, and with every game carrying more weight, expect intense battles on the court. Here’s a breakdown of the matchups.
Masters Division
Game 1: Legends (1-1) vs. Pinas Store LBC (0-2)
Time: 2:00 PM
The Legends come into this matchup looking to build momentum after splitting their first two games. Glenn Tapia, Eric Llarenas, and Gilbert Gamboa will be key contributors as they aim to control the pace of the game and dominate inside the paint.
Pinas Store LBC is still searching for their first win, but with solid players like Santi Capiral and Jhong Sabueto, they have the tools to give the Legends a tough challenge. If they can find consistency on both ends of the floor, they might just turn their fortunes around.
