The Okkodo Bulldogs took to the court to challenge their championship rivals, the St. John’s Knights, winning their season starter, 66-35, at the Okkodo gymnasium Friday night.
“A lot of JV players were bumped up into Varsity this year,” stated Jeddou Antonio when about his team’s chemistry. “We’ve just played so many games together and we just usually get together in the summer.”
From beginning to end, it was the Bulldogs’ game. Behind Antonio and teammate Garren Reyes, the Bulldogs pushed passed the frustrated Knights to go on a 12-0 run in the last four minutes, ending the first quarter with a good lead of 16-4.
Just like the first, the Bulldogs kept their aggressiveness going with a full-court defensive press to nab easy passes. A three by Brian Sih-Jae Kim ended the Knights’ scoring draught, but it wasn’t over for Okkodo as they put up points to keep the score at 24-9.
The Knights soon made progression, putting up points in the paint in an effort to catch up to their opponents. But the Bulldogs numbers kept going up after made shots by Aiden Ferrera and Shawn Bulala. A layup from Ray Bacalia and a three-point play by Cedric Sevilla, cut into the Bulldogs’ lead, ending the second quarter at 30-18.
In the fifth minute of the third quarter, Sevilla walked out after an attempted block resulted in a knee injury. With one of their key players out, the Knights stepped up to gain slight momentum. Behind Kim, Arvin Flores, and Brian H. Kim, St. John’s took off in a 10-2 run to put the score at 43-29. Answering back, the Bulldogs went for a 10-0 in the last two minutes of the quarter, putting it at 53-29.
The chemistry of Okkodo bested St. John’s after multiple turnovers by the Knights turned into successful Bulldog plays. With the offense of the Knights deteriorating, the Bulldogs took another 12-4 run in the remaining minutes to end the game at 66-35.
“We’re not at that point yet,” said Antonio about their blowout win.
The defending champions knew better than to take their former championship opponents easily. Starting the season with a win, Antonio said it takes “hard work; last year, we had offensive power, but this year, it’s all about defense.”
Center Ben Borja led the Bulldogs with 16 points, six rebounds, three blocks, and a steal. Antonio contributed with 14 points, three rebounds, one steal, and an assist. Flores led the Knights with 12 points, a rebound, and an assist.
