Double repeat

Congratulations to the Ateneo Juniors (HS) and Seniors (College) teams for capturing their second straight UAAP basketball championships yesterday at the Araneta Coliseum. Both teams won their best-of-three series by taking Games 1 and 3.

The Juniors team, led by HS junior Kiefer Ravena, defeated top-seeded De La Salle Zobel in Game 3, 61-56. Ravena was named the Finals MVP.

The Seniors routed an uninspired UE squad, 71-58, in their rubber match. Ateneo senior center Rabeh Al-Hussaini took the Finals MVP trophy. Rabeh, senior guard Jai Reyes and senior forward Nonoy Baclao end their collegiate careers in amazing fashion: 32 wins against only 3 losses with two championship rings the past two years.
