double-double of 10 points and 18 rebounds<\/strong>, being a key piece in both defense and in the second offensive opportunity.
The L\u00f3pez\u2013Quezada duo showed great chemistry on the court and at times neutralized the rival team’s comeback attempts.\n\n\nFor the defeated Vultures, veteran Jeison Colom\u00e9<\/strong> once again stood out with 24 points<\/strong>, while native Robert Mart\u00ednez<\/strong> contributed 11 units, although their efforts were not enough to reverse a game that Pueblo Nuevo managed with rhythm, precision and a greater bench depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nTriumphant Debut for Ciro P\u00e9rez<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\nIn the second match of the day, one of the most anticipated moments of the tournament was experienced: the return of the historic club Ciro P\u00e9rez<\/strong>, which after two years of absence, formalized its return with an exciting 89-86 victory over the Huracanes de Madre Vieja<\/strong>.\n\nThe most winning team in the history of San Crist\u00f3bal’s superior basketball lived up to expectations, with an outstanding performance by reinforcement Bernardo Polanco<\/strong>, who led the offense with 27 points<\/strong> and became the team leader in the decisive moments.\n\nAlso shined the reinforcement Kelvin Furcal<\/strong>, dominating the painted area and concluding with an imposing double-double of 16 points and 17 rebounds<\/strong>, providing solidity on both sides of the court.\n\nSpecial mention for the native Najib Ramos<\/strong>, who was lethal from long distance, scoring 15 points with a perfect 5 of 5 in triples<\/strong>, being decisive in maintaining the lead in the final minutes.\n\n\n
\n\n\nThe tournament, which celebrates its 35th edition<\/strong>, is organized by the San Crist\u00f3bal Basketball Association (ABASANCRIS)<\/strong>, chaired by Eddy Mont\u00e1s<\/strong>, and is supported by the Ministry of Sports<\/strong>, EGEHID<\/strong> and the Copa Banreservas<\/strong>, reflecting the institutional commitment to the sports development of the province.\n\nThe action continues this Sunday from 11:00 a.m.<\/strong> with a triple bill<\/strong>, where the teams will return to the court in search of climbing positions and continue igniting the passion for basketball in San Crist\u00f3bal.\n\nWith notable public support, a rising technical level, and the return of emblematic clubs, the Superior Tournament of San Crist\u00f3bal reaffirms its position as one of the most important sporting events in the south of the country.\n\n\n
