champions....again

we are once again representing mindanao in the milo sbp-pasarelle national tournament. it's a third straight nationals appearance for our school, also the third nationals appearance for coach ice gravador and this is my second tour of duty for the nationals. the road to the nationals wasn't that easy for us. we had to escape defeat narrowly against sacred heart of jesus montessori from cagayan de oro. believe it or not, the final tally came at 35-33. that was how close we came to being denied an entry to the nationals for the third straight time. in fairness to the sacred heart boys, they really played a very good game...it was a game you really dread seeing one team lose...unfortunately for them, we escaped with the "w" and will be heading back to the nationals again.

we will be leaving for iloilo on the 16th of november for the national tournament and hopefully bag a second straight national title. it will be a tall order for us since one of the teams we will be going against is ateneo de manila university. as coach ice would say, " we go to the nationals and try to get the title...if we will be given the chance to get it, we try."

and so we begin the defense of our national title.....animo ateneo!
