Uaap finals game 3 highlights

After the game, empassioned fans from both schools continued to jeer at one another as they filed out of the Araneta Coliseum in Cubao. Beyond the jeering, though, which is sure to dissipate with time, comes one very clear reality- everyone that night had come out winners. The boys from Espana had risen from perennial underdogs to the level of kings.

The boys from Katipunan had netted the silver medal, and had done so with grit and guts that knew no surcease. Fanatics from both sides of the fence had been treated to a show with a brand of impact certain to stay in their hearts, maybe, for the rest of their lives, and had seen themselves metamorphose into the very definition of faith and loyalty towards something representative of their chosen creed.

Such gains need not be stated. What folks will reflect upon is sheer skill and motivation untainted by material corruption. What we will all be able to smile upon years from today are the cheers, the streamers, the balloons, the posters, the classes we cut, the teachers who gave free cuts on game day, the clothes we wore, and the shortness of breath we all felt on September 24th, 30th, and October 2nd. All of the aformentioned details, we will invariably lump up into the tenth and eleventh months of the 6 year of the new millennium, into the annals of local basketball lore as a whole, and, into the pinnultimate moments of the season that was, the 69th for the U-Double-A-P.

And to the Blue Eagles, thank you for leaving it all out on the hardwood each and every time battles have had to be waged. Go USTE! Animo Ateneo! Despite the evident eagerness I exude as I look ahead, I say we revel in the multifaceted splendor the past UAAP campaign has brought forth, at least for the meantime.

We might find ourselves a reprise of a UST-Ateneo finals. Hope you can post articles on that series as well. The finals series was the stuff of legend. It can be likened to a tiff of David and Goliath nature- Ateneo being the juggernaut favored to win it all and UST being the kid with a slingshot, tremendous aim, and a seemingly unshakable fighting spirit.

It was a classic. Season 69 was one for the ages. What school are you from by the way? By: Migs on October 9, at pm. You are commenting using your WordPress.
