BACOLOD -- The active players got enough contributions from everyone to turn back the old-timers in the Legends Shootout that preceded the annual Smart PBA All-Star Game Sunday night at the West Negros University gym here.
Coca-Cola hotshot John Arigo and Magnolia ace Dondon Hontiveros scored 18 points each and newly crowned three-point king Renren Ritualo chipped in 13 for a 49-45 victory over the Legends.
Sta. Lucia Realty coach Boyet Fernandez carried the fight for the Legends, who were also backstopped by former Alaska gunslinger Ruehl Gomez and one-time All-Star Game MVP Elmer "Boy" Cabahug.
Fernandez, a streaky shooter during his time, scored 17, while Gomez had 15 and the University of Visayas coach Cabahug, who won the All-Star MVP in 1991, added 13.
The victory marked the second straight year that the active players won the event. Last year in Baguio City, Hontiveros led a squad that humbled a trio made up of Fernandez, Ato Agustin and Pido Jarencio.
"Nakadalawa na sila, hindi na maganda ito," said Fernandez.
In the Shooting Stars event, the team of Ronald Tubid, Jason Webb and Councilor Greg Gasataya triumphed with a time of one minute and 34 seconds, beating two other teams led by Ronjay Buenafe and Nelbert Omolon.
