BANTAYAN, Cebu— Sulangan Integrated School (SIS) boys’ basketball team failed to secure a victory after falling to Patao National High School (PNHS), 59–50, in a game held at Bantayan Southern Institute on October 18, 2026.
In the first quarter, both teams showcased their offensive and defensive skills, resulting in a deadlock at 13–13.
As the second quarter began, the game grew more intense. SIS displayed quick movements and strong efforts on the court, but the entry of Marapo and Taghoy of PNHS shifted the momentum in Patao’s favor, giving them a 32–25 lead at halftime.
In the third quarter, SIS fought back and strengthened its defense to prevent PNHS from scoring. However, as the quarter neared its end, SIS gradually lost momentum, allowing PNHS to maintain a 43–37 advantage.
In the final quarter, PNHS continued to showcase its skills while SIS fought hard to close the gap. However, SIS faced another setback when Tiongzon was hit in the eye by the ball, causing him to bleed. Despite SIS’s efforts, the game ended with PNHS securing a 59–50 victory.
In a brief interview, PNHS player John Kyle Lamag shared his experience during the game.
“At first, I felt nervous and pressured, but I just tried to overcome it. My message to my opponents is, ‘Nice game! You are great opponents because you are challenging,’” Lamag said.
