Chrisveil Sports clinched the 2025 Smart-NBTC South Luzon Regional Championship by taking down Momsie’s Kitchenette of Laguna, 71-65, Wednesday at PCU-Dasmariñas Gym.
The Caviteño side used a killer fourth-quarter assault and showed great poise in the endgame to stage an 8-0 finishing kick that ultimately allowed them to snare the crown.
Jancarl Gadlan kept the ship afloat for Chrisveil, scoring 10 of his 20 points in the first quarter, to go with seven rebounds, three assists, and two steals in the finale to be named as the Regional Most Outstanding Player.
The champions also had plenty of heroes, with Raphael Artiga knocking down four triples for his 12 points, Francis Austin Cervantes with nine points, five rebounds, and three blocks, and the duo of Aaron Kirk Justin Yu and Raven Tolentino combining for 13 points and 15 boards.
On the way to the title, Chrisveil dethroned last year’s titlist, Batang Tiaong, in the Round of 16 to change the narrative after EZ Jersey-Doc Boleros of CAMANAVA (North Luzon), Toyomoto Auto Supply of Davao (Mindanao), and Team Khalifa of Cebu (Visayas) repeated as regional champions.
It also became the first team this season to come from the Regionals’ host province to capture the throne.
Chrisveil’s balanced attack offset Momsie’s Kitchenette, which was buoyed by the hot shooting of Justine Yeoj Glorioso, who drained seven treys for his game-high 23 points, and the stupendous playmaking of Mythical Team member Mark Clarence Piaña, who dished out eight assists with his six points.
Nonetheless, the two earned their spots in the 2025 Smart-NBTC National Finals as the South Luzon representatives.
Also part of the Mythical Team in this tourney were Florence Lennard Montilla of Uncle Drew Cavite, Rasher Barquin of St. Jude College of Dasmariñas Cavite, and Lauro Pronda Jr. of PCU-Dasmariñas.
SJCDC and Uncle Drew also booked the last South Luzon tickets to the Nationals by winning their respective regional wildcard games.
