By YHASH FLORES

On a hot and sunny day at the E. Rodriguez Jr. Highschool Quadrangle, Kings takes the throne displaying impressive chemistry as they managed to get the comeback win conquering the Greeks, 2120, at the Championship Game of Student’s 3x3 Basketball Match on February 23.

Margel Salvador, student from Grade 12 - Escoffier caught the eye of the crowd after he racked up 8 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists leading the team to victory.

Carl John Froa also helped the KIngs by showing his perfect defense, blocking 3 shots using his high jumping ability.

“The key factor to our victory was our ball movement and chemistry, we know each other not like the other teams and I think it is a big advantage to us” Salvador stated after the game. Their team’s success was due to their superior ball movement and team effort, which gave them an edge over other teams who lacked familiarity. Greeks dominated the first 5 minutes of the game as JM Caguisa from Grade 9-Currie and Vince Espritu from 12-Plato scored 9 combined points, but Salvador displayed his power in the paint in the remaining possessions causing the score to be tied at the last 2 minutes of the game, leading to the Kings’ recovery. Greeks on the other hand, couldn’t stop Salvador’s sovereignty as he ended the game with a clutch 2-pointer.

Instead of kicking your classmate, imagine yourself kicking in a sport where your ability to wallop is being tested and also seeing yourself as a varsity where one of your obligations is to carry up the school’s name in different sports competitions.

That is the story of a student athlete who shares his and his team’s success as they kick the obstacles on their dream.
