Dallas, TX – It was a day of blow outs as all 3 games for today ended in lopsided victories in Week 2 of The Dallas United Ballers League Volume 1.
Headspin started the festivities by running the Thundercats out of the building, 66-45, to grab solo leadership in the league standings. High-school phenom Rodje Villa of Headspin, opened the game with a 3-point shot and didn’t miss much, after that, on his way to a season-high 32 points. He also plucked 8 rebounds, dished out 3 assists and blocked 1 shot to complete his wizardry over the Cats.
Headspin blitzed the Thundercats in the 1st half, with a commanding 42-19 lead going to the intermission led by the masterful game of Rodje, and with key contributions from Cupid Musa and Kyle Aguirre, who scored 8 and 9, respectively.
Renz Villanueva came alive in the seond half scoring all 14 of his points, to try to rally his Thundercats, but Rodjecontinued his hot streak by scoring 20 of his team’s 24 points in that final half to keep the Thundercats at bay.
In the second game, the Eraserheads started the game on a suffocating 14-0 run, and never looked back en route to a 55-37 wire-to-wire win over the reeling Dragonball Z. The Bruiser Brothers, Rommel Calaguas and Mike Beltran, bullied their way into the paint, while the speedy back court of Neil Bagalso and Kenz Jacob added to the Eheads balanced attack, to send the Dragons to the bottom of the team standings.
The Dragons were able to cut the deficit to seven, 28-21, on a triple by Richmund Echaore but were unable to get any closer as the Eheads pulled away with Rommel crashing the boards and piling in the points to the tune of a 16-10 double double.
Double-double machine, Tristan Moreno left the game for good at the half for personal reasons, but still topscored for DragonBallz with 10 points to go with his 4 boards. Pointcenter Gabe Gaw was the other bright spot for the win-less Dragons filling the stat sheet with 8 points, 6 caroms, and 5 dimes.
In the final game of the day, SemiPro leaned on their Mighty Big Three to annihilate Voltes V, 71-45, to get their first win of the season. CJ Pineda had a breakout game, scoring 18 of his season-high 28 points in the second half, while Rodfil Camacho added 17 and Jeff Duria poured in 14 to go with his 6 assists.
Sweet-shooting guard Aldrich Acuna couldn’t get going, and fellow three-point specialist, Aaron Cua, couldn’t buy a shot as well, as Voltes V found themselves fall behind by 14 at the half. The lead ballooned to 30 points in the final canto, before SemiPro stepped off the gas pedal.
