ATENEO KOs FEU FOR PCCL TITLE

For three straight years, Ateneo Blue Eagles has been wanting to get back this PCCL title as they recently knocked out the FEU Tamaraws, with the score of 70-74 moments ago at the Ynares Sports Arena.

Ateneo started the game like they’re about to win it, as they even led the game by 16 pts., but FEU bounced back as they even led the game by 3 midway in the final period, but the crucial plays of Jai Reyes and Oping Sumalinog made them return to competitiveness as they proved that they’re the best collegiate team in the Philippines. Apparently, in one part of the game, Reil Cervantes of FEU kicked the ball after recieving a turnover, as he was fouled out of the game after.

This is Ateneo’s third PCCL finals appearance, as they won the 2007 and 2009 crowns respectively, only to lose in 2008 to La Salle led by JV Casio.

And as for the annual awards, here’s the complete list:
Referee of the Year: Gamboa of PBL
Coach of the Year: Norman Black, Ateneo
Mythical 5:
Alderich Ramos and RR Garcia, FEU
Eric Salamat and Jai Reyes, ADMU
and Bambam Gamalinda of SBC

Most Valuable Player: Jai Reyes, ADMU

Congrats ADMU!

ATENEO WINS BACK TO BACK TITLE

THE 2009 ADMU BLUE EAGLES

THE Ateneo Blue Eagles won their fifth UAAP title as they clawed the UE Red Warriors out in the third game of the UAAP finals, with the final score of 71-58 at the Araneta Coliseum. Finals MVP Rabeh Al-Hussaini scored points just to help them remain the UAAP title to Loyola. He won the Finals MVP.

Halikinu! Ateneo has done it again! Yesterday, history repeated itself as Ateneo Blue Eagles This is Ateneo’s second consecutive title, and second run of repeating titles, as they also did this during the 1987 and 1988 seasons. Jai Reyes and Eric Salamat also contributed a lot as Ateneo made a big run over UE despite UE starting the game early hot in shooting. Al-Hussaini, Baclao, and Reyes, who are having their final game as Eagles in the UAAP made their best as Al-Hussaini even made a slam-dunk which was a very rare move for him.

With a crowd of 18,851, which is the biggest in this season, a few people also attended. The UE side had former players Robert Jaworski, Paul Artadi, and James Yap and RP Vice Pres. Noli de Castro. While on the Loyola side, Ateneo had former players JC Intal, Chris Tiu, Doug Kramer, and broadcaster Paolo Bediones.

Champion coach Norman Black felt very happy for his boys, and he even insisted that they did their best, as he just used his experience to win the title. He had his worst game prior to this, wherein they were defeated by UE. On the other side, rookie coach Lawrence Chongson felt upset, but somehow he thanked his team for extending the series.

As for the series overview, Ateneo won the first game, 78-71 but UE bounced back via a 88-68 win.

Congratulations to Ateneo and One Big Fight!

UAAP UPDATE: Ateneo’s junor team, the AHS Eaglets won their second consecutive title earlier by defeating the DLSZ Jr. Archers, 61-57, thanks to the two crucial assists of Kiefer Ravena. This is AHS’ 7th title (and the 18th title overall) with Jamike Jarin, who is at the AHS bench for 10 years.

ADMU 71 – R. Al Hussaini 21, J. Reyes 16, R. Buenafe 10, S. Baclao 8, E. Salamat 7, K. Long 7, N. Salva 2, E. Monfort 0, R. Austria 0.
