I've tried to put this off, reasoned that I should at least wait until after the first round before I started to raise questions and doubts regarding the Archers' performance in this season of the UAAP - well, first round's done but still, I debated whether I should voice out my doubts lest I want to incur the wrath of fellow,die-hard greenies. But after the loss yesterday, I could no longer keep it in. The one question that has been plaguing my thoughts. . .WHERE HAS THE ANIMO GONE???
I won't go into statistics and the things that went wrong in yesterday's game because it would be REDUNDANT - still the same issues but still no solutions for them.
I have been watching basketball games long before I could even learn how to dribble one [okay,exag!] and it's not the endgame that entertains me the most -but how the players gut it out inside the court, how the coaches outsmart and outwit each other.
I have been watching La Salle basketball for ages - I have learned to humbly accept defeat and be gracious in victory but if there's one thing that would dishearten me the most is to see an Archer quit. I never thought that there would come a day that I would witness one but what happened yesterday left me with that ugly seed of doubt.
I just hope that the players' themselves don't have that in them because now more than ever they need to trust in what they can do - individually and as a team.
Really. I am trying to think of what else to say but I am rendered speechless by this three games losing skid by the Archers.
God. Please help US keep the FAITH.
ANIMO LA SALLE!
