2-2! Archers Shot the Soaring Falcons!

The scare that this game brought was more than what a horror flick can give. The Archers led the game for the whole 3 quarters. It was in the 4th quarter when Adamson attempted to lead the game with a 1-point margin. It was TY Tangs's 3-point shot that boosted the Archers offense after a 8 minute slump (Gosh!). 58-65 was the final score and TY Tang led all the Archers with 19 points! I really really admire how TY Tang is handling the team. He really improved ever since his not-so-good rookie days. He might not be a Mike Cortez, but yeah...he's TY TANG and he's got character to lead the Archers well! Hope this 2-2 standing would improve more in their next games!!!! ANIMO LASALLE!!!!

Archers now 1-2 (Vs. UE)

It's not a good record...but there are some games left for the Archers to improve their record. I'm still not losing hope until the Final Four has been selected. The fight with UE was really close though. Both teams led in scoring from time to time...and the result was a 1 point score deficit for the Archers to win the game. Waaaaaahhhh!!! Too bad!!! Come to think of it...only 5 players scored in UE, but all of them scored in double-digits...on the other hand 9 players scored from the Archers...but only Yeo was in double-digits. Clearly our bench is deep...but it just lacked something? Was it a leader or was it heart? I really don't know...but all I hope is that they regain their composure for their next game against ADU! I know they can do it! KEEP THE FAITH! ANIMO LASALLE!

It was a close game. But sad to say the Archers lost to the fast-improving UP team by 5 points. Their standing now is 1-1. Heck, I already forgot the score...oh well. The first quarter was so close that you wouldn't be able to predict who will win. Tang really did well in this quarter. But it was the 2nd quarter (again) who determined who will win the game. It was in the 2nd quarter when UP started to move away from the Archer's score. The Archers failed to dominate in the 2nd half as well. During the last minutes of the quarter Jvee Casio tried very hard to shoot his 3's...but it wasn't any help for them to win. They lacked the fire they had against ADMU. Now it should serve as a lesson again...don't lose fire in any game!!!!!! Their next opponent will be UE...another strong contender. How will the Archers get on with this game? Will they implement new learnings to this game? That is what I hope for because I know they could really pull off a good game...well ANIMO LASALLE!!!!!!!

Little people can really prevail against bigger guys. The DLSU Green Archers have proven this in their fantastic game last Sunday against ultimate archrival Ateneo Blue Eagles.

Really, it was not expected to turn up like this, 78-60 in favor of DLSU. It was really a surprise....and it was a really great surprise. It just proves that our Archers haven't lost the spark as champions even their main man (and my forever idol) Captain Hook already left the team. Yes, the commentators said it seemed that the Archers weren't missing Capt. Hook but I think that was not really the case. They just found motivation to maintain their good playing status even with their main man....but Capt. Hook will never be forgotten in the hearts of every Lasallian!!!!

It was really a good first game unlike last year. Let's just not hope that the opposite might happen. Please...I will always believe in the ability of the Archers...KEEP THE FAITH!
Now I'm looking forward for more 3-pt showers from Casio (wohooo!), Cabatu, Arana, Yeo (Go atene-YEO), Cua (guys, this guy really has potential...he just has to reveal it in the next games), Tang and the other guys (do I need to enumerate all? All of them will be able to contribute!)....
GO LASALLE!!!!! ANIMO LASALLE!!!!!

1 week to go before the opening of UAAP SEASON 68!!!! I'm now excited for the new adventures the Archers may experience. Their adventures would be every Archers fans adventures too. I gotta get ready! I'm gonna go CRAZY again! Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!!

Sad to say that my idol Captain Hook is not in the team anymore! he was my No. 1 fave since my crazy frosh days!!! My friends could narrate how crazy I was with Captain Hook! Now I can say I have mellowed...but during the games I'm still crazy shouting!! Wohoooo!!!

Will the Archers be able to defend their crown? Will they be able to start a new record regards opening games? How will the DLSU-ADMU games occur? Will I get another lucky chance to sit on patron seats? Will I have more pics with the Archers? Hehe! Enough!

Let's just see...:)

I know this is a late greeting but anyway I just wanna say CONGRATS to MAC CARDONA for becoming the PBL's MVP!!!! Yahoo! At last he made it!!! I'm so happy! Good luck on Aug during the PBA draft! May you join a good team!!! I'll be watching you again! Yahoo!

Waaaahhh, Harbour Centre was not able to enter the semis!!! It looks like the PBA draft is where I'll be seeing Mac Cardona next. I hope he really makes it, and hopefully he becomes a member of Alaska or San Miguel!! Go Mac!

By the way I already have seen the tentative schedule for Season 68! JUly 9, 2005 would be the opening of the UAAP with ADAMSON as the host. And guess what? The rivalry continues as DLSU and ADMU face-off again in the 2nd day of the opening, July 10, 2005 at the Araneta Coliseum at 4:00 pm! I hope I'll be able to watch again! This would be the last UAAP season I will be able to watch as an undergrad...so I have to scream louder this time (I don't want to go crazy in the crowd as an alumni, that would be embarassing!)!!!!

I have not watched Harbour Centre's other games, too bad for me. I was only able to watch two so far, and both of it resulted in a loss. Argh! Oh well...as far as I know tomorrow they will have another match with Welcoat (tama?) and this game would ecide if they could enter the semis! So good luck to them! Go go Mac Cardona!!! :)

Mac Cardona is now playing for Harbour Center, another new team in the PBL which is mainly composed of Addict Mobile team members...along with Jerwin Gaco he is also playing with...yeah...with ADMU players like Tenorio, Bugia, Membrere etc!!!! Nice combination huh? Let's see how well they will fare! So far Mac has been the top scorer in their past games (wasn't able to catch all of it though...I'll try to catch their other games!)...he surely is ready for the PBA!!! GO MAC!!!!!! :)

After the long jubilation of earning the championship in Season 67...it is time for some sad news. What has been rumors before had turn to facts because "Captain Hook" Mac cardona is finally leaving DLSU to pursue his dreams in the PBA. But anyway I'll still support his decision since he is my idol and ever since I admired him as I player I told myself that whenever he turns pro I'm still gonna support him (hopefully I can catch live PBA games). I hope Mac would be a top draft pick (he should be!) and he must go to the best team (hopefully san Miguel or Alaska!). Go Mac!!!! ANIMO LASALLE! Thanks for all the great plays you have shown to us!

Yes, Welcoat defeated us again, and by 30 points! Despite Captain Hook scoring 23 points, it did not help us get closer with the enemy's score.

Congratulations still for a very great season! I believe they really did better this time, knowing that they faced Goliaths! They are the Davids in the league and they were still able to keep up...great job guys! I know this conference have helped them train for the next UAAP season. We'll be expecting more spectacular plays from you guys in the future! can't wait!!!

Besides, there is still light for the team for Captain hook is leading the points statistical race! I'm gonna get really mad if he doesn't even get into the Mythical Five!!!! A MVP award? Let's see!

ANIMO LASALLE!

The Archers have finally entered the quarterfinals by beating Wecoat yesterday, 95-89!!! Bye bye Toyata-Otis Letran and Air Philippines!!!! Anyway Captain hook scored 31 points and 11 rebounds! Great stats there! And The Ninja scored 23 points!These guys are really great!

I would also like to thank them for goin on overtime, if not for that I wouldn't have watched the game for I was asleep the whole 4 quearters of the game...I was really sleepy that time...it seems they really wanted me to watch the game...LOL!

Yeo is back on track by hitting lots of triples...keep it up!

ANIMO LASALLE!

KEEP THER FAITH! HOPE IS STILL ALIVE! Beat Welcoat again on Tuesday!!!!!

60-72, it really seemed that FEU really wanted to get back big from the Archers. Oh well it was raining with 3-point shots courtesy of Yeo, and Cua also made one. It was tight at first but the 3rd qtr hammered the Archers down. The lead became big in the 4th qtr. The Archers tried to come back with a few minutes left but it was just not enough. One ore game against Welcoat, let's just see what will happen...ANIMO LASALLE!!!!!

The Archers lost in their last game with Montana, it was not really bad though cause it was really a tight game. But the Archers missed the big contributions from hard-working sophomore Ryan Arana and 2003 UAAP ROY Jayvee Casio. Ryan scored none, and Jayvee only scored 2 despite Mac leading with 18 points and Tang, Yeo and Benitez providing 10 points each.

Now they are facing Magnolia FEU, their hot hot rival from the last UAAP season. It is currently a close game and I hope I'll be able to give out good news in my next post! ANIMO LASALLE!!!!

No PBL games yet...so I have no updates yet about ICTSI...

Good news is...COACH FRANZ is back again!!!!! Wohoo!!! Thanks Coach!!!! 3 more years of fun and adventure!!!!!! ANIMO LASALLE!!!!!!!!!

JV CASTRO, who the hell is JV CASTRO? Typographical error by the newspaper as usual. I checked The Inquirer a while ago for the score of the ICTSI-Air Philippines game yster. They did not post it, but they posted a pic of Jayvee Casio and Te and referred Jayvee as JV CASTRO....oh well...at least we won yesterday! It was really a close game but thanks to the dynamic duo of Cardona and Yeo who garnered 26 points and 20 points respectively,the Archers now are 4-6 in the team standings. Yeah they are still not yet in the 1st four but still it is still okay at least they are not the team with the lowest standing. CONGRATS again ARCHERS!

The Archers were stabbed again by the mighty swords of the Knights. I was not able to watch the game...it was too late when I checked our newspaper for th PBL schedule. Oh well...one thing to be happy about is that our very own Mac cardona is leading the league in stats with 22.8 pts per game. He is also leading in the efficiency rating despite sitting out in one game! A good thing also to note is that he is also 10th in assists in the league with 2.9 apg. Way the go MAC!!!! ANIMO LASALLE!

91-96...that ws the score in the game of ICTSI-LASALLE versus Toyota Otis-Letran. I can say even if the team lost, they were at least able to put up a good fight. I believe Letran had a 19-points more in some parts of the game...or higher (20+ I think). the Archers were already raging to catch the lead during the 3rd quarter...but still it wasn't enough for Letran was ready to counter their offense and defense. But believe me...it was raining with 3 pointers...that Macapagal guy...grrr...oh well. Lasalle was just not in shape without TY Tang who suffered a sprain last Sunday, with Yeo who just got well from a flu, and cardona who was just recovering from a sprain that he got in their practice last Saturday. It may be the finish of the 1st half of the eliinations...ther eis still the 2nd round...the Archers can still do it!!! ANIMO LASALLE!

* By the way, the Alumni office is now selling the UAAP dvd for the price of 500 (Game 2 final four, game 1 and 3 of the finals. just wanna share! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAC CARDONA!!!! Okay was it really a "Happy" birthday? Being suspended for one game and losing by 30 pts to Magnolia-FEU would not make Captain Hook's birthday a reason for celebration. Oh well...let's hope for good things on your coming games! ANIMO LASALLE pa din!!!!

The Archers fell again in the hands of the much-experienced squad of Montaña...91-77. Mac Cardona did try to beat his score in their last game against Welcoat. he emerged with 24 points, his usual score, but still it didn't help even with the assistance of Yeo and Gaco who scored 13 and 12 respectively. But still the Archers gained praises for putting up a good fight, besides these guys are really young compared to other squads.

Down to 2-3, but this is still not the time to fret...this is basketball...and as always anything can happen.

Good luck on your next game ICTSI-LASALLE ARCHERS!

ANIMO LASALLE!!!!!

Does Coach Franz need to come back as quick as possible for the ICTSI Archers? Uhm I don't think so (but it would be nice though). But having Gee Abanilla as their Coach right now is not so bad...it's really good you know. They were able to win 2 games with big margins (the first with Addict-Ateneo, and the 2nd with Air Phillipines 96-77). okay they lost in their last game against Welcoat...but what the heck? Anything can still happen...as if they haven't faced the same situation huh? 69-51...I'm sure they can get back...good luck on their game on their Thursday! ANIMO LASALLE!!!!
