Church wedding serves as an inspiration for Barroca

For the past five games, Marc Barroca was quite passive in the offensive end for Magnolia.

His only double-digit scoring game came against Phoenix in the Hotshots’ 97-91 victory and, prior to meeting TNT Saturday, was averaging a dismal 5.17 points a game.


Barroca, though, stepped it up against the KaTropa, scoring a conference-high 20 points on 7-of-14 shooting as he led the Hotshots to a 91-83 win.

But it wasn’t just the need to fill in for the injured Paul Lee, who suffered a left ankle sprain in the third quarter, that lit a fire under him.

What made a difference is an upcoming life-changing event in his life.
