ONE of the best news I’ve read just recently, amid my usual doom-scrolling on Twitter, is an announcement of the UAAP Season 84 men’s basketball tournament.
After two years of the pandemic, the University Athletic Association of the Philippines, which counts among its members the premier establishments for higher learning in the Metropolis, will finally kick off with the much-awaited sports season on March 26.
Derrick Pumaren, who gave us our championship wins in 1989 and 1990, has returned to coach our brave and talented team once more. And what is Gilas Pilipinas’ loss is our university’s gain: Justine Baltazar is expected to give it his all in his last season to ensure the team grabs the top trophy. Having had the opportunity to train and play for the national team, his moves on the court bear watching. He will likely be pairing up with another graduating senior, Raven Cortez.
Next to men’s basketball, women’s volleyball has always been an exhilarating sport to watch. So much power comes off even from the tiniest of female players, with a lot of heart-stopping blocks and spikes. And with the matches coming after the intense national elections, the women’s volleyball competition will likely be a welcome respite for everyone who worked hard for their respective candidates.
