The Acrocity/MEC team continued its dominance in the Xavier Alumni Basketball league (XABL) as it bagged its 15th title recently by beating Uratex, 91-85, at the Xavier School Sports Center in Greenhills, San Juan.
True to its championship DNA, Acrocity beat six other teams to enter the finals before outlasting Uratex to complete another mighty sweep of the title.
As expected, Season MVP Gab Banal finished with 31 points on top of 17 rebounds and eight assists while finals MVP Charles Tiu added 22 points highlighted by crucial three-pointer and putback to seal the win. He also had 12 rebounds and eight assists.
Former PBA stalwart Joseph Yeo chipped in 14 points, Franz Dy had eight points, while Paul Chua and Gavin Kua contributed six points each. Gio Sia and Jervis Tan chipped in two points each.
Other members of the team are Randy Chua, Mike Ng, Alejandro Torres, Jerald Sze, Ezer Lim, Bryan Go, Marty Tio, Joseph Chua, Marvin Sioco, and Royd Tan.
Team owners Caesar Wongchuking and Merrick Chua of MEC Networks Corp. as well as team manager Joseph Ngo and coaching staff Jay Llanos Dee credited the team’s rock-solid defense and unselfish teamwork for the win.
Wongchuking chairs the Czark Mak Group of Companies that developed Bulacan’s newest commercial, industrial, and lifestyle township Acrocity.
“This milestone victory is a testament to years of hard work, consistent excellence, and a winning culture built by players, coaches and supporters who never settle for less. Each championship run has strengthened the legacy, but this 15th crown stands as a powerful symbol of longevity and sustained greatness,” team manager Ngo said.
The Wongchuking group is also a proud supporter of the Gilas Pilipinas women’s basketball team that bagged the gold in the recent Southeast Asian games in Thailand.
