The LAST Intrams in CLARET : Day 3

On the third day of the 4th Year Intramurals, I started the day practicing my shots, once again, it was an average shooting night.

BAS had only one opponent today, that was SFA
, the match against SAL in football was held today, here is the breakdown:
Basketball: (vs
SFA - L) Record: 3-2
Volleyball: (vs
SFA - W) Record: 5-0
Football:
(vs SFA - ?!? Don't know) (vs SAL - L) Record: 2-1-1 (Win-Draw-Loss)

In the game against SFA, I was heavily defended by Novie Aguilar & Nicco Chia, we did not took the game seriously. Also, our ace guard Rob Mariano twisted his ankle during the game as he landed after a shot. I almost made an "AND 1" shot, and I got my first free throws in that game, but I missed my free throws.

After the game, I took lunch at the Elise Canteen and rested.

Well it was fun when it lasted today, I hope I can make another shot tomorrow.

Five teams down, Two more left, Tomorrow we will face two teams SMA, and STA.

LET'S GO BAS and WIN! YES WE CAN!

The LAST Intrams in CLARET : Day 2

"PATALO" JUST HAPPENED!
Sorry guys!

On the second day of the 4th Year Intramurals, I started the day practicing my shots, it was an average shooting day for me. I made some of my shots, then I miss my shots.

BAS had two opponents today SLE and
SAL, here is the breakdown:
Basketball: (vs
SLE - L) (vs SAL - W) Record: 3-1
Volleyball: (vs
SLE - W) (vs SAL - W) Record: 4-0
Football:
(vs SLE - W) (vs SAL - Not held) Record: 1-1-0 (Win-Draw-Loss)

In the game against
SLE, I had BAD SHOT SELECTION, TURNOVERS, AND POOR DEFENSE!! AYT! fair na yan... and unfortunately we lost the game for our first loss this INTRAMS.

After the games, I went to play with my friends from
BAS, SJG, SLE, SMA, SAL and STA in a series of practice games, It was an average day, and my FEET is aching bigtime!

Well it's back to the drawing board for me.. Hopefully I can bounce back from the poor performance today..
Four teams down, Three more to go, Tomorrow we will face SFA.

The LAST Intrams in CLARET : Day 1

The Intrams for the 4th Year level has finally begun today after a long 6 month wait... On it's first day a lot stuff happened.

Before the game, I went to mass hoping that there will be a huge turnout of our batchmates (THANK GOD A LOT OF OUR BATCHMATES TURNED OUT!). We were not allowed to go upstairs. We also had basketball practice before the first game, I was rebounding and shooting a lot during the practice.

On opening day, we had matches against SJG and SDG.
Here are the results on team sports:
Basketball: (vs
SJG - W) (vs SDG - W) Record: 2-0
Volleyball: (vs
SJG - W) (vs SDG - W) Record: 2-0
Football:
(vs SJG - D) (vs SDG - Not held) Record: 0-1-0 (Win-Draw-Loss)

In the basketball came against
SJG, BAS came back from a 18 point deficit to win the game. Then in the game against SDG, I made a three point shot, that cut the lead to 2 points (37-39), and THANK GOD we won the game by 9 points, since during the first time I made a shot at the Intrams last year, we lost that game.

After every game, I went to play with my friends from
BAS, SJG, SLE, SMA, SAL and STA in a series of practice games, I was able to make my shots, dish out assists and get some rebounds. In one practice game, I was unfortunately hit hard by a football kick that went out of the field and into the court we played. The tremendouse force of the football brought me down and hurt, but once again I THANK GOD that I was still able to play and give out 100% of my game. Since we were not allowed to go upstairs into our rooms, we stayed at either the quadrangle, the gym or the canteen. The games ended at around 2:30 pm, and the first day concludes.

Our section is on a good start, hopefully we can carry this until the last day.
Two teams down, Five more to go, expect a tough road ahead.

BAS, can we win TITLES?!?
We'll see about that in the coming days.

LET'S GO BAS and WIN! YES WE CAN!

CLARET DEFENDS QCAA TITLE.... defeats Ateneo 64-55..

CLARET ROOSTERS DEFEND QCAA CHAMPIONSHIP
defeats Ateneo 64-55
Sophomore HACHUELA named FINALS MVP

The Claret Red Roosters became the back-to-back champions in the Men's Basketball Division of the Quezon City Athletic Association (QCAA) after defeating the Ateneo de Manila Blue Eaglets 64-55 at the Dr. Henry Noble Gymnasium inside the campus of Trinity University of Asia in Quezon City.

Sophomore center Alch Hachuela lead the Roosters in scoring as he scored 11 points, 7 of which was part of a 11-0 run to start the 1st Quarter.
The Eaglets quickly bounced back as they went on a 15-3 run of their own, eventually taking a 15-14 lead at the end of the first quarter. The 2nd and 3rd quarters were tight as the Roosters took the first halves of these quarters, while the Eaglets respond in the later halves of these quarters, with Claret eventually taking a 43-41 lead coming into the final quarter. The Red Roosters took the lead for good as Senior forward John Paul Martin scored two early 3's to start the 4th quarter to end with 10 points, while Senior forward Luigi Javier and Junior guard Martan Retuerma scored on drives that broke the Ateneo defense backing up Martin in scoring with Javier scoring 9 points and Retuerma scoring 8.

Hachuela was named the Finals MVP as he led the Roosters in scoring, while Martin was a part of the Mythical 5 of the Men's basketball division.

The Red Roosters were supported by their fellow Claretians who never left the game until the final buzzer sounded. Despite the loud drums the Ateneans used in the game, it was not a factor as the Eaglets settled for 2nd place, while St. Claire finished 3rd, and ICCS finished 4th.

Claret scorers: Hachuela 11; Martin 10; Javier 9; Retuerma 8; Cruz 6; Lalas, Jo. 6; Garcia 5; Alejo 2; Chia 2; De Guzman 2;  Lalas, Ja. 2; Cordova 1; Mangahas 0; Songco 0; Venzon 0
