May 16, 2025 | DSCO Compound, Dammam, Saudi Arabia

The third installment of the IECEP KSA-ERC basketball league blazed through May 16 with dramatic turnarounds, and explosive performances that turned an ordinary Friday into a basketball spectacle!

Game 1: The Red Team's Grit vs. Yellow Team's Lightning Speed

The first clash was nothing short of a David vs. Goliath scenario—except this time, Goliath had wheels. It was a full-blown mismatch as the Yellow Team, likened to a sports car, raced ahead of the sluggish Red Team, which appeared more like a parked car struggling to shift gears.

But the crowd roared to life when the Red Team, once buried under a mile-wide score gap, began clawing back—thanks to the laser-precise sniper shots of Engr. Kelvin Cano. With every swish from beyond the arc, hope flickered back for the underdogs as they trimmed the deficit to a nail-biting 3 points.

However, their miracle run met a blazing wall in the form of Engr. Michael Florin, whose speed and scoring fury reignited the Yellow Team's dominance. In a final burst of momentum, Yellow pulled away with a commanding 19-point lead, sealing a hard-fought victory that left the crowd breathless.

Game 2: Green Machine Crushes the Blue Storm

If the first game was all fire and comeback drama, the second was a masterclass in unity and strategy. The Green Team orchestrated a symphony of ball movement, leaving the Blue Team scrambling to keep up. Despite the relentless full-throttle drives of Engr. John Carlo Gaboy, Blue couldn't pierce the unshakeable chemistry of the Green squad.

Led by the calm, composed leadership of Engr. Reginald Cadahing and the undeniable good fortune of the team’s wild card, Lucky Pong, the Green Team executed a clinical takedown. From precision passes to unselfish play, their victory was as elegant as it was inevitable.

As the dust settles, the court stands as a witness to the power of teamwork, resilience, and a few game-changing heroes. With every meeting, the IECEP KSA-ERC basketball league continues to raise the bar, and one thing is certain—the best is yet to come.
