BLEACHERS BREW EST. MAY 2006

Someone asked me how my blog and newspaper column came to be titled "Bleachers Brew". It's like this, it's an amalgam of sorts of two things: The bleachers area in the stadium/arena where I used to sit when I would watch baseball, football, and basketball games and Miles Davis' great jazz album Bitches Brew. That's how it got culled together. I originally planned on calling it "The View from the Big Chair" that is a nod to Tears For Fear's second album, Songs from the Big Chair. So there.

John Galinato laid the ball in with 0.9 of a second left to lift Chiang Kai Shek High School to a 62-60 win over Canada Durham Crossover in the first match of the 2016 SM-National Basketball Training Center Championships at the Mall of Asia Arena last Sunday.

The CKSC Blue Dragons played catch up ball for the first 32 minutes as Durham Crossover, a squad composed of Filipino-Canadians posted leads as much as 11 points. The visitors spotted the Manila-based school a 10-point lead after the end of the third period but Rafaelo Torribio ignited a scorching 15-0 run using a punishing full court press to take a 49-44 lead.

Durham Crossover retook the lead behind forward James Canlas, forward Robbie Ocampo, and center Matthew Daves, 60-57 with 1:07 left to play but off a timeout, Miguel Oczon drained a game-tying triple with 56 seconds left.

The Fil-Canadians had a chance to win it but Canlas threw away the inbound pass that led to Galinato's heroics.

Canlas, the 17-year old 6'2" forward has attracted US NCAA Division 1 schools Oakland University in Michigan (Horizon Conference) and Binghamton University (American East Conference) in New York. Canlas scored a game high 23 points and 13 rebounds to lead Durham Crossover.

"It was disappointing because we were in a position to win the game," said Canlas. "I don't want to give any excuses but that team (CKSC) is good. We'll bounce back."

Galinato led the Blue Dragons with 19 points.

"We pressed them to start the fourth period," said CKSC head coach Goldwyn Monteverde. "That made the difference for us."

In the second match, Maryhill College of Lucena crushed Agusan National High School, 59-40.  olivares
