Foton tries to keep record spotless
With the No. 1 spot in the quarterfinals in mind, Foton battles Petron in the Philippine Superliga All-Filipino Conference Saturday at Batangas City Coliseum.
Unbeaten in five games, the Tornadoes test their mettle against the Blaze Spikers at 7 p.m. in an attempt to sweep the preliminaries.
F2 Logistics, meanwhile, clashes with Sta. Lucia Realty in the first game at 5 p.m.
Foton coach Moro Branislav admitted that battling Petron won’t be a walk in the park.
“In my opinion, we have to double our effort and correct our mistakes,” said the Serbian mentor. “Things are now getting tough. Everybody is playing hard.”
Petron is coming from a defeat at the hands of Cignal, while Foton is riding the crest of its come-from-behind win over Generika-Ayala, which went two sets up only to fold.
“They are coming off a loss,” said Branislav. “We have to be prepared because they will surely go for this important victory.”
The Cargo Movers are on a three-game winning streak but will have to deal with the determined Lady Realtors, who are on a two-game roll.
