Allenian Stumbles By 1Pt.
Galaxy Superdome(4/4/2009)...A last second error by Vitazoslav Hankovsky spelled the outcome of the game between the Allenian basketball team and the Weapons.basketball team.Hankovsky , a reserved guard of allenian fouled Jeremy Taytay in the act of shooting with no more time in the game.The score was tied 71-71 but with that foul Taytay was awarded 2 free throws in which he missed the first shot but successfully sink the second one that gives them the win.
Allenian shot poorly in the field with only31-82 FG and with 0-14 in the 3 point line.Although they shot poorly in the game, they had out-rebounded the wepapons.basketball (65-34) that keep the game close for the allenian.Melencio Hotanosas's stellar performace (26 Pts., 21 Rebs.,4-6 FT., 11-14 FG) was wasted in that loss.No other player other than Hotanosas and Bazin scored double digit points for allenian.In that game coach Ray Christian didin't used his veteran players Davut Anik and Thomas Mansuy,who were his starters in the last season.Mansuy who was last year's scoring leader averaging 20.8 pts per game average only 13.9 pts. and was in and out in the starting line-up this year.Meanwhile Davut Anik who missed his 1st game since joining the team last year only averages 7.2 pts and 6 assts.this year, compared from his 12.6 pts. and 7.1 assts. last year.
Coach Ray Christian was asked why did he let his 2 veterans just sit on the bench replied"The team is currently on the process of rebuilding,as we all know we are still on the Phillipine Cup and the competition there is getting tougher and tougher so the management decided to rebuild the team to be able to withstand those trials"."We are trying everything to improve this team,I think in the span of 1-2 years this team will improve to a much more better team than this."
