UAAP Media</div>MANILA -- University of the East shocked perennial high school contender Far Eastern University-Diliman, 82-74, to soar to the solo lead in the UAAP Season 87 Junior High School Boys&#x27; Basketball Tournament, Wednesday at the Araneta Coliseum.In a battle of unbeaten teams, the Junior Warriors took control early and surged to a comfortable 70-49 lead in the fourth quarter behind stellar performances from Gab Delos Reyes, Enrico Bungar, and Ethan Oraa.The Baby Tamaraws rallied to make it a five-point game, 79-74, with still 1:45 to play. They had a chance to further trim the lead after UE&#x27;s Kiefer Panganiban was called for an inbound violation. Unfortunately for UE, Denden Enriquez and Mark Dulin missed their shots, and a clutch basket from Neil Garcia kept the Junior Warriors in control.&quot;Malaki siyang factor pero for me, ito ay para sa program namin. Hopefully, throughout the tournament, makakuha pa kami ng mas maraming panalo para mas maraming players ang pumunta sa program namin, hindi lang sa juniors kundi pati sa Men&#x27;s and Women&#x27;s teams—sa buong basketball program ng UE,&quot; said Junior Warriors 16U head coach Andrew Estrella.&quot;Pero of course, hindi porke&#x27;t FEU ang tinalo namin, okay na &#x27;yun. We have to instill in the kids na mahaba pa ang tournament na ‘to. Pero definitely, this is a good boost para sa program na tinatayo namin,&quot; he added.Delos Reyes, a transferee from Lourdes School QC, led the Junior Warriors to their third straight win with 18 points, 15 rebounds, four blocks, and one steal.Bungar, a holdover from last season&#x27;s bronze-medal squad, added 14 points and nine rebounds, while San Beda College-Alabang transferee Panganiban and Iloilo native Oraa each contributed 11 points.&quot;Charge it to experience, don&#x27;t be complacent. Even though we had a big lead and we knew FEU&#x27;s strength and ability to come back, we just stayed composed,&quot; said Estrella.FEU-Diliman fell into a four-way tie for third place with a 2-1 record, joining De La Salle-Zobel, Ateneo de Manila University, and University of Santo Tomas.CP Miranda, son of FEU basketball operations head and PBA legend Denok Miranda, paced the Baby Tamaraws with 16 points, four rebounds, and four assists.All-around guard Anton Lopez added 11 points, seven assists, three rebounds, and three steals, while lanky forward Prince Cariño was limited to just nine points and three boards.Meanwhile, defending champion National University Nazareth School secured its first win of the season with a wire-to-wire 94-76 victory over University of the Philippines Integrated School.&quot;We&#x27;re far from done. Hindi pa ako totally satisfied. Though there&#x27;s improvement game by game, we can&#x27;t be satisfied. Kailangan pagtrabahuhan pa natin,&quot; said Bullpups head coach Kevin de Castro, as his Bullpups continue to rebuild after the graduation of key Bullpups Shaun Lucido, Rob Celiz, and Mot Matias to senior high school.The Bullpups dominated every aspect of the game, shooting 49.3 percent from the field and outrebounding UPIS&#x27; undermanned nine-man squad, 51-32.They led by as many as 29 points, 82-53, late in the third quarter.Chester Talabut, a returning Bullpup from last season&#x27;s championship team, led the way for NUNS with 24 points on 71.4 percent shooting, along with nine rebounds, four steals, and three assists.Nick Peña and David Sabareza contributed 15 and 14 points, respectively, as the Bullpups improved to 1-2.Despite UPIS&#x27; Tubongbanua dropping a game-high 33 points on 13-of-22 shooting, and Jhustin Hallare adding 29 points, the Fighting Maroons remained winless with a 0-3 record, tying Adamson for last place.<div>The Scores:</div><div>First Game</div>UE (82) – Delos Reyes 18, Bungar 12, Panganiban 11, Oraa 11, Ferreros 10, Garcia 6, Orca 5, Okebata 5, Pascual 3, Mesina 1.FEU-D (74) – Miranda 16, Lopez 11, Enriquez 10, Pasinos 10, Cariño 9, Dulin 8, Diaz 6, Adriano 2, Santos 2, Lassiter 0, Pingris 0, Victoria 0, Pineda 0.Quarterscores: 25-16, 49-33, 67-49, 82-74<div>Second Game</div>NUNS (94) – Tulabut 24, N.
