So from this 31 schools, only top 16 schools will advance to the qualifiers. Rank 17 to 31 is out.

Now the top 8 schools has the twice-to-beat advantage. 9 to 16 schools at the bottom will have to defeat their opponent twice.

So 1 vs. 16, 2 vs. 15 and so on. Maghaharap ang nasa una at yung nasa pinakadulo. It will be Fontana vs. Fielbarth and so on. So our opponent is Saldenaria Pink Pegasus, all girls school of district 32.

May schedule na kami at ang first game ay gaganapin dito sa amin sa 24'th. Kung matatalo namin sila ng first game pa lang syempre wala ng game 2. We have the twice-to-beat advantage. At yun ang kailangan naming gawin. Talunin ang Saldenaria sa game 1 pa lang dahil hindi na kami pwedeng magsayang ng oras at kami ang dehado kapag nag game 2 pa. If we want to make it to the finals, we have to take all the necessary means to win every game and avoid delays.

Naghahabol na ng mga practice dahil paunahan maka tungtong ng semis. Like I said, this is the real challenge.

Meanwhile sa men's basketball ay tapos na rin. Lanercost is the male counterpart of Fontana. I actually find it cute because its an all boys school and all girls, and when you look at the names of the schools, isnt it romantic to pair Lanercost knights with Fontana Blue angels ?

Wala lang. I just find it cute.

Anyway Lanercost is 16-0 too. Walang talo. Habang sina Anthony naman ay 15-1, dahil nga tanging Lanercost lang ang tumalo sa kanila.

Rank 1 sa team standings ang Lanercost and DSU is ranked 3.

First week of October sumailalim nanaman ako sa test sa clinic. 3 hours akong tulog habang isinasagawa nina Lorrie ang mga test and trials. Basically, they've been experimenting on me since it began. My DNA map, my neurons and my brain.

Pag gising ko inabutan ako ng isang basong tubig ni Lorrie then bumalik din agad sa pagbabasa niya ng mga results.

Saglit akong natulala sa kawalan habang nagpapalakas ulit dahil ang hirap talagang gumising pagkatapos ng therapy na ginagawa namin.
