Uno retains PCYAA title undefeated

Uno High School pulled off a thrilling 52-51 win over Jubilee Christian Academy and won the women’s title in the Philippine Ching Yuen Athletic Association (PCYAA) for the second straight year undefeated held recently at the Uno High School gym in Tondo, Manila.

After Gelsey Nikka Taguibao shattered a 51-all count by splitting her charities with barely five ticks left, the Uneans then leaned on a tough defensive stand to deny JCA a clear shot and complete another 11-game sweep of the tournament.

“I want to thank the Uno community for its unwavering support,” said Milton Yu, Uno High School Sports Director and Prefect of Discipline. “One of the team’s great assets was that it played as a team. Nobody cared for the individual stats or who would wind up as the highest pointer of the team. The unconditional support of the parents also played a huge role in our success this year.”

Other members of the Haina Leementored Uno squad are Vivian Chua, Patricia Yap, Jodie Erika Yu, Angelica Marie Lim, , Michaella Co, Kate Sofia Ang and Leilah Soriano.

Saint Jude Catholic School also retained its crown in the Developmental Division (for boys 11 and under) after sweeping Pace Academy in their bestof-three series.

In table tennis, Saint Peter the Apostle Church topped the Juniors Boys Division while Saint Jude Catholic and Grace Christian College bagged the Juniors Girls and Aspirants Boys divisions titles, respectively.

Meanwhile, the 3rd PCYAA basketball competitions resume on Jan. 9 next year.
