UECM-Gerizim finally gets their first win

It was a greatly anticipated match up in the PCIBL League. Both team have came in hungry for their first win. UECM-Gerizim team was just reeling in from a 4 point heart breaking defeat vs. UEC Greenhills. They were leading in the 1st 3 quarters but slipped the game in the last quarter.

The joint UEC Malabon - Gerizim Team came into the game missing some of their key players. Only 9 players were able to play. Coach Harry, Migel and Ernest wasn't able to come due to commitments. Team Adviser Kelvin Hya took helms to stir the team. Main post up man Ahya Solomon was playing with an injured leg. Guards Ralph and Erwin were tasked in bringing the ball down the court. Veteran big men Nicolson, Stewart, Huahua hya and jojo were tasked to guard the paint. College Fellowship had 4 of its own playing in the game. Rookies Nikko Chua, Raphael Sy, Ernest Lim and second year, Daniel Yam. Daniel is playing as a forward for BSOP team. Even though they are all pals at church, he won't let his friendship get in the way in bringing his game on court. Nikko and Raphael having a great joy ride to the game were pumped up to give their all. Hot hands Ptr Herwin and Ptr. Johnson who use to particum at UECM were there playing for the BSOP team

A record breaking crowd showed up for the game. Counted about 50 people showed up to cheer their team. (ok thats a lot compared to the previous games:) ) In attendance were Rev Lim and his family. BSOP teachers and staff were there. Cheng family was there to support Solomon hya. Hua2 hya and his family were there. Gerizim fans were there too. Coach Kelvin's ever supportive family was there. College Fellowship fans showed up to support, even though it was finals week :)

UECM-Ger jumped on early lead at the 1st half of the game. They were leading by 10 pts. but BSOP didn't back down. They made a surge at the 3rd quarter cutting the lead to just 5 pts. You could feel the tension in the court as both Rev Lim of UECM and Bro Simon of Gerizim were on their feet. UECM-Ger Team learned their lessons from their previous game and were determined not to let the game slip away. On the fourth quater Coach Kelvin had trouble rotating his tired 9 man rotation compared to the 12 players BSOP had. The relentless defense of BSOP made it difficult that made Coach Kelvin had to call a couple of time out and refocus the team. BSOP got in to early foul trouble getting team penalty, which was the break UECM-Ger needed. The fight wasn't over until the last few mins of the game when UECM-Ger broke away and sealed the game. The game ended with 80-62. After the game people were shouting "cheese burgers!" to celebrate the win but wait! May melamine din daw yung cheese :) So everbody went home na lang happy. College fellowship went out to celebrate the win. Yeah! Too bad i forgot to bring my digital camera

points to ponder: Lebron James led the NBA in scoring, 30 pts per game. His 3-point shooting percentage is 31.5% meaning for every 10 shots he will miss 7 shots. We always see him in the highlight reels scoring all the time but in reality he misses too. Hey ain't life like that? If you don't take the shot how will you know.
