With a combination of young veterans and several new faces, this year’s team battled through adversity and proved that by working together new milestones can be achieved. The championship game against ADMU was a hard-fought one with the boys giving their all to bring home the championship to Muntinlupa. While we did not get the results that we wanted, seeing the boys compete while demonstrating exemplary sportsmanship is an achievement worthy of celebration.

The team’s performance has significantly improved and pushed them to be at their best during every game. Though the team was not able to defend the championship they won last year, this achievement is still a feat worth celebrating, especially after battling a vastly improved and reinforced La Salle Green Hills squad until the end. While the championship may have eluded us this time, this is a testament to the team’s hard work and perseverance.
This year’s teams were handled by Coach Kane Baylon and Coach Jhon Cabulong. Animo La Salle!
