The UPIS Junior Fighting Maroons are looking to improve their so-so performance last season. Tallying only a total of five wins out of fourteen outings, the UPIS Basketball team finished at sixth place.

Enzo Barraquias, this season's team captain, responded confidently when asked about their expectations.

“Expect muna ng Final Four, mga 6-7 wins siguro, tapos bahala na sa susunod (We expect to finish in the Final Four, around 6-7 wins, then we’ll see what happens next),” he said.

Other UPIS students also have high expectations for the Junior Basketball team.

“Magchachampion ‘yan! (They will be the champions!)” said student Paolo Gonzales, an avid fan of the Junior Maroons.

“Feeling ko nga eh, may chance na mag-improve, (I feel there is a chance that they will improve.)” said Trisha Serrano, a grade 10 student.

“Kayang pumasok sa top 5 (They can finish in the top 5),” said Paolo Bartilad, a member of the UPIS Track and Field team.

Since most of this season’s game will be played at the nearby Blue Eagle Gym, the basketball team is encouraging everyone to support and cheer for them.

“We invite everyone to watch our games this season at the Ateneo Blue Eagle Gym. Please support us,” Barraquias said.

They will start their season 77 campaign against the University of the East on November 29. / by Macky Barrientos
