After a successful opening week wherein three games were played after an excellent opening day program last May 15, six games were conducted in the second week of the Holy Cross College of Calinan Basketball Alumni Cup 2022 at the Calinan Gymnasium in Calinan, Davao City.
On May 22 at 10 in the morning, the millennial teams of HCCC batch 2011 and batch 2014 face each other in a battle of pride and honor.
HCCC Batch 2014 Hangovers showed that getting drunk is not a hindrance to beating their sharp opponent, Razorbacks, 58-46.
Graduating in an era where the small ball basketball is starting to get known, the Hangovers used their team work and defense to defeat their opponent by 12 points.
An hour later, the HCCC Batches 2013 and 2012 had their own face-off for pride and honor as well.
HCCC Batch 2012 used their camaraderie and sharp shooting as Braders to defeat the cute but feisty Space Jam team 61-55.
The Braders used their poise and experience in the end to defeat the Space Jam, whose second installment in the cinema starring Lebron Jame is a flop compared to the first one top-billed by Michael Jordan.
In the third game, the HCCC Batches 2006 and 2009 clashed with each other on the hardcourt.
After 20 minutes of play, the batch 2006 proved to be a much tougher team as they ended up winning 60-51.
Just like its logo of a mudfish, batch 2006 went deeper into its bag of tricks to defeat their younger opponents in their game.
In the fourth game, the 1990s HCCC batches 94 and 99 faced each other in what turned out to be a lopsided game.
Batch 94 is very confident of beating their opponent using the monicker Hoopers, which signifies basketball-loving souls.
However, Anarchy Game Farm 99 had other things in mind, without due respect to existing laws and taking in the personas of NBA 90s stars Shaq O'Neal and Michael Jordan, batch 99 annihilates batch 94 76-52.
In the second to last game, the oldie HCCC batches 85 and 86 face each other in a game of tactics instead of speed and talent.
Using the appropriate monicker of Lakers, Crow batch 85 beat batch 86 53-45.
The era of the 1980s is dominated by the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA.
Batch 86, who uses the more popular monicker Bulls, ends up losing since the Bulls during the 1980s was a weak team it just became strong in the 1990s after years of losing in the 1980s.
In the penultimate game of the day, the millennial batches of 2004 and 2008 face each other in a tense and close match.
The Batch 2008, with the sharp claws of an eagle, prey on their opponent 62-58.
Just like their monicker, the Boss, batch 2004 fought hard, but in the end, the Brave Aguilas proved to them that they were a better team in the end.
The ongoing HCCC Basketball Alumni Cup 2022 is organized by HCCC Batch 1995.
As the organizer of this game, batch 1995 graduates make sure all the games are played well and fairly.
A group of medical personnel is always on standby to help if the need arises.
The referees officiating the game are always on their toes to make sure the game is played fair and square. (Romeo Braceros Jr.)
