Despite its second place finishes in both the Palaro and FAACA leagues, TFC Mainline is undeterred and focused on winning the Palaro crown by conquering their first victory over the dreaded Team Force, 54-39. With its core team supported by new recruits, Bert Fogata (2006 Palaro MVP), Arvie Dazon, Mike Esguerra and Kenny Santos, the difference was immediately felt on the hardcourt.
Team Force came out energized and hungry leading for the first 8 minutes of the game making big shots and taking the ball to the rim. Marcus Chiu was firing up Team Force with jumpers and drives to the paint to keep them ahead. To keep TFC trailing, team Force anchored on inside operators, Simon Wong and Anthony Alvarez grabbing big offensive boards and kicking in some crucial put-backs.
TFC showed a little rustiness on their offense but their defense soon kicked in to start an uphill comeback. Paul Nicdao led the team with good defense and dazzling moves to the basket, while Butch Sanchez was causing havoc in the paint drawing triple teams. Bert Fogata, 2006 Palaro MVP, gave TFC the edge to pull away along with Mike Sanchez's passing. To put icing on the victory cake, Rudy Santos' connected on fastbreak layups that kept the Force silent.
It was certainly not a walk-in-the park for TFC, nevertheless, they prevailed over a highly touted team. TFC's opening day win ranks them 4th in the overall ladder board and 3rd ranking in the Americano Division.
The loss of Team Force slides them down to 9th overall and 4th in the Americana Division.
