CCDC Conquers BCT to Set Battle with UC

CCDC Admirals got off to a fiery start and showed its composure in the closing stretch to seize a 92-79 triumph over BCT Atoms in the BBEAL Season 33 stepladder semifinals.

In front of a packed crowed at the CCDC gym on Thursday, Nov. 7, the Admirals found their mark from beyond the arc and perimeter early in the game, building a big lead against the shell-shocked Atoms.

Bryan Gravilez showed his defensive prowess by controlling the boards and being a rim protector tallying 7 blocks in the game.

BCT Torio however rallied 3 three-point marks in the 3rd quarter closing in at 6 points behind the Admirals.

At the later part of the 4th canto, the Admirals broke BCT’s full court press allowing defensive compromise and opportunity for the Admirals to run on transition.

With the result, the Admirals are now headed to the next phase of the stepladder in the semifinals, where they will play the UC Jaguars for the right to reach the championship round against the UB Cardinals. The UC Jaguars own a twice-to-beat advantage.

The match up will be on Monday, Nov. 11 at the UC Jaguars gym.
