Rahima, KSA – Redland Warriors needed a strong fourth quarter to kick AlMoallam out of contention with a 73-37 win last Thursday October 12, 2017 to enter the quarterfinals of the RTR SACSO 2017 Basketball tournament at Rahima, KSA.
The Warriors, who came from a sorry loss last October 5 from Arabian Fal, regain their composure with Boyd Lota and Adrian Zarate suiting up for the first time in this year tournament. Both players missed the first two games because of work assignment in Turaif but came out strong on boards and three-pointers respectively. Lota dominated both end of the boards with a number of block shots and steals. He also contributed important points to keep the Warriors at bay. Zarate, a rookie player, surprised everyone with his long-range shots converting 3 out of 5 tries from the rainbow.
Randy Fernando, top scorer of the team, undeniably still the go to guy of the Warriors. He made so many shots from inside to outside.
Also diving with the needed numbers are Clarence Bautista, Rey Santos, Kenetth Toquirre, Mark Taniel Miano and Joel Bual.
Center Jerry Velasco was sideline due to his injury. Bernie Taghoy is expected to play in the quarterfinals against the Kabbani, lodged as the strongest team in this season.
