" GO RED DRAGONS "


I received the ball from Tiana then made a quick spin because I will never get through their defense. Malayo pa ako sa ring pero apat na segundo na lang ang natitira. I have to do it. I'm not a good shooter on a three point range but time is up. Sayang play namin kung matatapos lang ang bente-kwatrong shotclock na wala kaming nagawa.

I released the ball and the whole sports arena is rumbling with wildly crowd screams and electrifying background music.

My teammates rushed to me and they all looked so surprised. I mean all of us.

" what a spectacular game we witnessed tonight coach. River Fabiery, the crowd favorite had delivered the last drop of this game and BAAANG !!! Della Shaw Red dragons was able to hold their grip and seized the night. Thats a real buzzer beater over there. A wonderful win for the Red dragons who is still undefeated. Oh look at the crowd, they are storming of their seats and celebrating. What an exciting game tonight "

Well if you were to ask me, I didnt expect that too. I was even questioning Tiana why did she passed it me. Lamang ang Thunderbirds ng dalawa and somehow, I already thought of a loss tonight. Baka nga talo kami ngayong gabi but when Tiana passed it to me, I know I have to do something. I've been practicing my shooting but I am still unsure if my accuracy has improved.

So nung pumasok yung tres na iyon, kahit ako ay nagulat. I was ready to take the blame. Handa naman akong akuin ang talo namin ngayong gabi kung sakaling hindi na shoot yun.

I got four fouls and I made three turnovers. Nabibitawan ko ang bola at isang beses akong natawagan ng traveling. Mahigpit ang bantay ko at tama si coach Donny.

Pinaghandaan nila kami.

Mirstone Thunderbirds of District 23 almost defeated us pero na shoot pa yung binitawan kong tres. Hindi ko akalaing ma shoshoot yun.

Parehas walang talo ang dalawang school. 11-0 kami habang 10-0 sila.

Now we're 12-0 and they are 10-1

We got 4 four more games to finish in this North conference. Then after it, laglagan na.

The whole sports arena is celebrating with us. We got the advantage since ang Mirstone ang dumayo. Dito ginanap sa 24'th ang game namin.

And our fellow red dragons never failed to give us motivation and endless support.

Hindi ko inaasahan ang panalo namin ngayon pero napakasarap sa pakiramdam na makita kung gaano nila kami sinusuportahan. Win or lose, DSU fans are still the best.

September is almost over. Days are going so fast dont you think ? So many things are happening.

We have already taken the first term exams. The midterms will be at the end of October, then final exams will be last week of November then after it is clearancing then the few days remaining are for other requirement completion then the christmas break starts.

Grades will be posted on DSU academic page next week. I'm so nervous. Nakakahiya ipakita kay Lorrie ang mga grades ko. Wag naman sana akong bumagsak, o makakita ng tumatagingting na tres.

Pero kung tres talaga matatanggap ko na rin. At least naawa pa rin yung prof ko sa akin at pinasa ako.

Nasa classroom kami ngayon kahit vacant namin. Nagpatawag kasi ng meeting ang class rep namin, si Jewel.

" so guys napagmeetingan duon sa student council na sa October 15 na nga ang homecoming.
