PYRAMID Hill Cafe has closed out its year in the Kerang Basketball Association with a nail-biting loss to Murrabit Magic.
A win would have seen Pyramid Hill rise from the bottom of the ladder and overtake the Magic, but the 51-49 defeat sees the Cafe team holding up the rest of the competition as it takes its Christmas-New Year break.
Jayson de Leon (17) and Prince Dizon (16) were the top scorers for Pyramid Hill, which led by three points early in the second half but could not hold on for a much-needed win.
SRP Boort fell to a 53-33 loss to Ballers, with the competition’s top scorer, Jan Dave Gumilao, held to just eight points, including two three-point shots.
Giul Christian Ocaya scored 14 points for Boort, which sits fifth on the ladder.
