The DLSU-ADMU UAAP Rivalry

Last Thursday, Araneta Coliseum was once again rocked by 2 schools that just can't get enough of each other. Tickets are again selling like pancakes and flooded by green and blue colors. The game was intense and close. It needed an extra period just to have an outcome. Sadly, Ateneo won.

A few days ago, DLSU filled a protest on the game and contested that there are 2 foreign players that played at the same time. It was due to a technicality. I don't think those 2 players are key players and thus would affect the outcome of the game. At the end it was Chris Tiu and Jai Reyes who mattered and not those players who were mentioned in the broadsheets. I haven't even heard of these players who were involved anyway.

True enough they violated a rule, true enough it may affect the team standings but I am confident enough that DLSU lost a good game and will bounce back. Just like the run last Sunday against UST. That game was lost. DLSU lacked the energy, heart and desire to win the game against ADMU. They simply wanted it more.

Play on! Recover lost ground. Stop whining. Focus on how to bounce back and prove that La Salle is hungry, a force to contend with, and will go all the way and capture lost glory.

A lot was said. A lot were told. But action was lacking.

Ateneo, wait for the second round! It will be a hell of a fight. La Salle, prove that you are worthy! Prove to the school, to the community, to the Philippines and to all those who doubted that you want the crown and want it badly!

Saint John Baptist de La Salle, Pray for Us! Leave Jesus in our hearts, FOREVER!

ANIMO LA SALLE!
