Sports News Bites (November 26 – December 11)
It has been a great past few months for sports in the University of the Philippines Integrated School (UPIS). Game-winning threes, chipped medals, and winning streaks are the top moments in the last two action-packed weeks for our Junior Maroons.
For three!
With less than 10 seconds on the clock, Jacob Estrera of the UPIS Junior Maroons Basketball Team shot a cold-blooded dagger three that left little time for the UE Junior Warriors to seal the win in a neck-and-neck game.
A Bronze medal
Winter Quiambao bagged a bronze medal in the 2000m steeplechase event youth division of the Philippine Amateur Track and Field Association Weekly Relay last December 9, 2017, at the PhilSports Complex. Josh Sabido, Mev Abac, and Lans Lubang also participated in the said competition.
Leading the competition
The UPIS Girls’ Volleyball Team currently carries a 3-1 win-loss record in the Saint Marie Eugene (SME) Cup under 18 tournament.
In the hunt for fighters
The UPIS Taekwondo Team is inviting students to try-out for their team. They are looking to discover new talents that will help them in future tournaments and competitions.
On-going Battles
The UPIS Junior Maroons Basketball Team is on the hunt for their second win in the University Athletics Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Season 80 as they are about to test the National University (NU) Bullpups this Saturday December 16 at the FilOil Flying V Centre. //by Nathan Ramos and Blade Saliva
