The Unofficial one-day HF basketball tournament hilights
I just couldn't resist doing this. The sportswriter in me took over.

HF defeats Patriots
The Heraldo Filipino All Stars wrote off the DLSU-D Patriots, 198-190, in the Unofficial HF Basketball Tournament held in Palaruang La Salle in the DLSU-D campus on August 18.
Man-mountain Jonas Terrado was unstoppable as he powered his way inside the paint with 85 points and 58 rebounds, 20 of them coming from the offensive glass. Meanwhile, JE Ramos found his shooting touch late in the game, making 15 three-pointers.
On the other hand, Alquin Bolivar of the Patriots waxed hot from beyond the arc, finishing with 49 markers. Lutrell Bugna found solace in fastbreak points, chalking 31 for the game.
Action was fast-paced as the Patriots scored the first two baskets. In the next moment, Terrado showed his muscle by making a short stab from inside.
Although the Patriots were starting to break away courtesy of Bolivar, Bugna, and Jovic Giray, former Bloomfield Academy Eskumor Terrado kept the student journalists in the game.
With the HF five of Terrado, Ramos, Rae Timogan, Travis Chiong, and Kenneth Marimon in the game, they recovered and caught up as the DLSU-D athletes start to lose wind.
In the end, with the out of shape HF staff collapsing one by one due to exhaustion, the Patriots were looking for worthy challengers even if they were behind in the current game. Furthermore, the HF second team, composed of Jherick "Naruto" del Mundo, Rei Victor, Vicbert Maceda, and Maynard Solinap, were intimidated from the opposition to send themselves into the ballgame.
HF Basketball Tournament commissioner JP Abcede had 0 points in 0/3 shooting, approximately three rebounds, about two assists, and a guesstimate of two steals and three turnovers.
PS
No one was keeping score so no one actually knew the real outcome of the game. But I hand it to the HF staff for giving the more mobile and agile DLSU-D athletics and volleyball players a fight.

HF1 wins over HF2; HF overwhelmed by Dormers
Heraldo Filipino Team One, composed of Jonas Terrado, Rae Timogan, Kenneth Marimon, Travis Chiong, and Rei Victor, upended Heraldo Filipino Team Two, comprised of JP Abcede, JE Ramos, Jherick del Mundo, Maynard Solinap, and Vicbert Maceda, 9-3, in the second game of the one-day Unofficial HF Basketball Tournament, held in PLS on August 18.
The combination of Timogan and Marimon did most of the damage for HF1. Meanwhile, Abcede and Ramos found it hard to organize their team, as they couldn’t even decide on who would play point guard.
Butter-fingered Abcede lost the ball three times due to the pesky defense done to him by Chiong. The commissioner of the one-day HF Tournament scored his two points of the game on a breakaway power hop layup, and on an outlet pass delivered to him. He forgot who gave the assist pass.
Terrado, collaring most of the rebounds, found it hard to score with all five HF2 staff ganging up on him every time he has the ball. This gave Marimon the opportunity to shine with his Allen Iverson-like moves, while Timogan captained the ship with his wily point guard skills.
Chiong, wearing shorts that were already threatening to fall off, scored some from midrange while doing the "amoeba" defense on whoever was bringing down the ball for the opposition.
On the other hand, Ramos, being the de facto point guard of HF2, had his shooting compromised because he had to bring down the leather in several occasions.
Maceda committed one traveling infraction after another to the amusement of everyone.
Naruto del Mundo did the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu technique, scratching skin cells off Marimon’s arm.
Solinap, coming from a PE class earlier the day, seemed lost and didn’t know what to do. Victor, seeing all roles taken care of, happily jogged like a bear up and down the court.
The reason I wrote it this way is because no one was keeping friggin’ score! This is not how a sports coverage article should be written.
The game abruptly ended when Marimon suffered from cramps as the DLSU-D Dormers one by one usurped the tired HF staff out of the court.
