MANILA, Philippines – La Salle continued to stamp its class in the Filoil-Flying V Pre-Season MVP Cup as it fashioned out a 91-69 victory over Mapua for its third win in a row at the Filoil-Flying V Arena in San Juan yesterday.

Joshua Webb came away with 14 points while Gabriel Banal and PJ Barua added 13 points apiece as the Archers stayed unbeaten before leaving for the US tomorrow for an alumni convention and training which will last for two weeks.

“We’re here in this tournament to gauge the strength and weaknesses of our team especially now that we have a lot of new players,” said La Salle head coach Franz Pumaren.

Rookies Arvie Bringas, Joseph Tolentino, Gabriel Banal, and Yutien Andrada combined for 34 points to provide the needed backup to the team’s mainstays.

The Archers dominated the Cardinals from start to finish, leading by as many as 27 points, 87-60, in the last quarter.

MVP Cup: Green Archers Edge UP

Posted by Nel

The Green Archers edged UP, in a cliffhanger, 67-66 at the Arena this afternoon. The win somewhat made up for the 1 point loss the Archers suffered at the hands of the same UP team in the Fr. Martin Cup tournament held earlier this year.

The game marked the much-anticipated debut of Arvie Bringas, former center of the NCAA Jr. champion San Sebastian Staglets. Bringas did not disappoint, and displayed his inside prowess on both offense and defense. He topscored with 12 points despite being given limited playing time by Coach Franz.

The Archers dominated the first quarter, 19-14 before a spirited UP offense led by red shirting Silungan enabled them to take the half at 28-34. Some ragged play by the Archers on offense resulted in several miscues which were translated into fastbreaks by the Maroons. Defensively, the Archer press failed to blunt the frenetic UP offense.

After the halftime break, Archers buckled down to work, led by Simon Atkins who scored on successive possessions to cut the lead to a single basket at the end of the 3rd. UP kept it close throughout the 2nd half behind the hot hands of Silungan and …

More New Archers: Will they Bringas back on top?

Posted by GREENARCHERS.PH



 

Here are the new archers added to the Fil-Oil Flying V MVP Cup tournament roster.

11- Arvie Bringas

The guessing game to where this highly-coveted high school star from San Sebastian started the moment the final buzzer sounded in his last official game wearing the Staglet jersey. After months of speculation and anticipation, Arvie finally made his La Salle debut yesterday and top scored for the team with 12 points.

 28 – Martin Reyes

Unlike his more senior namesake in Diliman, this Martin chose to stay Green after graduating high school over at Greenhills. Playing the wing position, he had an exceptional debut in the Nike Summer League wherein he is also part of the roster.

Will they help ”Bringas” back on top? We will soon find out.

Nike Summer League: Archers crush Merlions

Posted by jonas terrado

posted in the Nike Summer League Website

National champion De La Salle, with a number of rookies on its fold, dumped unheralded City College of Manila, 86-72, in the 2009 Nike Summer League seniors’ division at the FEU gym in Morayta, Manila.

Electing to use the game as a tune-up for its sought-after recruits, the Green Archers overcame a disappointing start before making things difficult for the Merlions to gain a head start in their quest to regain the NSL title they last won in 2007.

Sophomore standout David Joshua Webb bannered La Salle’s attack with 18 points, three rebounds and three assists while Jovet Mendoza tallied 16 points as they led by as many as 31 points in the contest.

But to everyone’s surprise, CCM, a member of the National Capital Region Athletic Association, zoomed to an early 13-4 lead with 4:21 left in the opening period.

However, Webb led a furious charge for the Taft-based cagers when he hit seven points, including a triple that put them on top for good, 21-20, with 8:28 in the second quarter before storming to a 39-26 lead at the half and never …
