2009 Philippine Collegiate Championship Update

November 15 , 2009

De La Salle Green Archers, 2008 Philippine Collegiate Champions, are back in the “Sweet 16” Finals of the Philippine Collegiate Champions League. The Green Archers swept their games against St, Francis of Assissi Doves, Don Bosco Technical Colleges Grey Wolves and the UNC Greyhounds, in the Naga Zonal Qualifying games held at the University of Nueva Caceres Gym at Naga City.

Basketball fans jampacked the UNC Gym during the three-day series and the visiting players from Manila were surprised by the warm reception and attention accorded to them. Rev. Msgr. Zosimo Ma. Sanado of the Naga Metropolitan Cathedral, hosted the teams for breakfast after Eucharistic Mass celebration and Naga City Mayor Jesse M. Robredo, a rabid basketball fan, personally greeted the players and opened the games.

It was an exciting and well-organized series, thanks to the efforts of Edper Brojan, head of the organizing group, and the very supportive team from the Mayor’s office.
