Vosotros powers Caloocan past GenSan

New recruits Almond Vosotros and Jeff Viernes quickly made their presence felt for their respective teams as they came away with big games and leading their squads to huge wins over their rivals in the MPBL Datu Cup.

A player who briefly saw action for Blackwater but spent a long time being part of the national team program either as a rookie or as a pro, Vosotros wasted no time unraveling his total package.

Vosotros finished with 23 points, 11 rebounds and six assists to stop Caloocan’s bleeding and help the team in scoring an 84-75 triumph over General Santos City.

With Vosotros taking charge, the Longrich-backed Supremos were able to snap a seven-game losing skid, winning their third in 11 games.

The Warriors absorbed their sixth loss in 10 games.

Mar Villahermosa led all scorers with 25 markers, but his effort had to give way to Vosotros’ entry into the Supremos camp where the former La Salle Green Archer became the game changer.

“Iba talaga yung impact niya. Not on scoring, but providing leadership,” said Caloocan coach John Kallos. “Dati, lumalaban naman kami, pero pagdating sa endgame, doon kami nagkakaproblema. Ngayon, we have someone who can take charge.”

Like Vosotros, Jeff Viernes, who briefly saw action for the TNT Ka Tropa last season, provided the Batangas City Athletics-Tanduay a big lift in frustrating home team Mandaluyong El Tigre-Dataland, 61-57, in the other game.
