Unwavered

I rarely write about basketball or any other sport, for that matter, simply because I don't share the enthusiasm and passion as much as some of my friends from both sexes do. But after the sad news about how the DLSU Green Archers lost to the NU Bulldogs in a critical game that will determine if the Archers stay alive for the rest of Season 72 of UAAP, 61-63, I felt compelled to share my perspective after an untimely respite for the boys in green and white.

Ever since the 72nd season of the UAAP kicked off, I've always been pretty rational as to how I perceived this season shall unfold for the Archers. In short, I kept my hopes at a reasonable level and braced myself for the rough ride that was sure to come for our boys. And I was right. As I was telling Vic, a good friend and a die-hard Gang Green member, I'm not too hopeful for this season and that there will be hard-learned lessons along the way. But even if my hopes weren't at their all-time high, my faith in the team never wavered - faith that while the team is back to square one, every victory and loss shall mold the players into champions-in-the-making.

*sigh*

And so the Thursday’s game decided that, for now, the Green Archers will have to take the backseat for the rest of the season. But rather than dampen my spirits, I was all the more excited and already looking forward to Season 73 when the people from that part of Taft Avenue shall surely have their vengeance. WE SHALL HAVE OUR VENGEANCE. As for our boys, their time will soon come when they will share in the glory and triumphs of the men before them. All it takes is faith. I, for one, am keeping that faith. See you in Season 73!
