Jrs. basketball update

August 22: UPIS defeated AdU, 95-60

Unbelievable! Not the fact that we beat last year's number two, but the fact that we beat them by that much! 35 f*cking points! I was stunned, to say the least. Hoorah for the Junior Maroons!


September 4: DLSZ defeated UPIS, 61-60

Sayang ang game na to. Panalo dapat ang Junior Maroons kung hindi lang sila naging lax during the last quarter. Nahabol tuloy sila ng mga Alabang boys. Ang masakit pa dun, UPIS was up by two in the last few seconds of the game. Then, by some twist of fate, La Salle's Martin Reyes (who earlier bungled all his shots from the three-point line) sinks a shot from the arc with only two seconds left!

Ayun, luhaan ang mga IS boys. Sayang. I think napagalitan sila ng husto ni Coach Pat sa locker room after the game. The Junior Maroons must win all their remaining games para they'll have a twice-to-beat advantage pagpasok sa semifinals. They'll go against the NU Bullpups on September 9 and the Ateneo Blue Babies on September 12.
