Yakal Basketball Club (YBC), UPIS’ all-star basketball team, has won against all challenges since its founding last November 2013.

The team boasts of an outstanding 21-0 record, defeating highly acclaimed UPIS teams such as Solar Boys and Tropang Balugs. Their most recent victory against archrivals Narra Basketball Association (NBA) last Friday, 21-18, earned the YBC a spot in the history of UPIS sports teams.

Founded by Josiah Chua of 10-Yakal, it is composed of high-profile seniors Adam Lopez, Benz Nacpil, Luis Perez, Lino Licuanan, David Matabang, Sano Amante, and Erwin Hermosa.

The YBC’s prowess has caught the eye of local hottie Freddy Pajarillaga of 10-Ipil. “They’re really good,” Pajarillaga said, “I wish I could play as well as them.”

Pajarillaga expressed his intention to join the team, but his ball handling skills did not meet the YBC’s standards.

The YBC’s games are scheduled every Friday, 7am - 9am at the UPIS Basketball Court. by Jemuel Aberin and Luis Perez
