ILOILO City – Reigning UAAP men’s basketball champion De La Salle University Green Archers is set to appear during Iloilo City’s 80th Charter Day celebration from Aug. 21 to 23.
According to Iloilo City Sports Development officer Rommel Castro, the Green Archers will be playing a goodwill game against a local basketball team and will also conduct basketball clinic for young Ilonggo cagers.
“DLSU was invited by the Iloilo City Government for our 80th Charter Day Celebration,” Castro told Panay News. “As part of DLSU’s corporate social responsibility, they will conduct free sports clinic to our selected public school students.”
Among those who are set to lead the Green Archers are UAAP Season 78 MVP Benoit Mbala, Andrei Caracut, Ricci Rivero, Aljun Melecio, and Bacolodnon Kirell Brahndon Montalbo.
Also set to appear are Abu Tratter, Rashleigh Rivero, Joshua Gonzales, Leonard Santillan, Jose Go IV, Gabrielle Capacio, Justine Baltazar, John Gob, Brent Paraiso, and Ramil Tero.
Green Archers head coach Aldin Ayo has recently said they are eyeing to participate in at least seven pre-season tournaments to toughen up his squad for the UAAP season.
“Kulang na kulang kami sa laro. Hindi pa lumalabas yung mga laro ng mga bata e. Although pag nagpa-practice kami game-face naman yung tira nila pero iba pa rin yung actual game,” Ayo said.
“Siguro pag nakadami na kaming laro baka makuha na yung shooting touch. Kaya nga yung plano namin ngayon naka-linya sa amin six to seven tournaments before the UAAP para lumabas talaga yung tunay na laro ng mga bata,” he added./PN
