1-6 Record for Bloomfield
Saturday, October 21, 2006

Records were shattered by the Bloomfield Basketball Team but not the way they wanted to remember.

This after they ended their forgettable 2006 LPSAA basketball tournament campaign with a 48-34 loss to Southville International School at the Aguilar Sports Complex in Pilar Village.

Southville controlled the game right from the start and eventually built a 30-19 halftime lead. The international school took a 40-21, the biggest in the third after a series of baskets that started on two triples by former Bloomfield Grade School varsity player Michael Martin.

The lead eventually grew to 46-25 minutes before the end of the match.

Richmond Ricafort led Bloomfield with 10 points, the lone double-digit scorer by the team while Migs Alvarez had eight markers.

The cagers played without Aaron Pante and Carlo Difuntorum, among others for personal reasons.

The loss gave the school a 1-6 record, their worst win-loss card ever posted in the history of the event while missing the Final Four as well.

After securing its first, and only win against Divine Light Academy, Bloomfield loss by a huge margin to St Anthony School and against Blessed Trinity School by default. The team contested that the default by BTS was caused by miscommunication over the scheduling of the match after the games were slightly rescheduled following Typhoon Milenyo.

Yet, the damage has been done, losing its first three games by double-digit margin, Bloomfield had a hard time to find wins in the LPSAA this time.
