The DLSU Green Archers rise to the top can be summed up in two letters - JV. The silent assassin used his third quarter scoring rampage to fuel the DLSU's offensive runs to silent their UAAP Tormentor, defending PCCL Champs and archrival the Ateneo BLue Eagles to win their first Philippine Collegiate Championship. Playing on his last year for the Green Archers, Casio summoned all his strength to give the Green Archers a 71-62 win over the UAAP Champs. The win assured the Green Archers 500k worth of scholarships and another 500k worth of prizes plus a trip to Serbia to represent the country in the 2009 Universaide Championships. It is but fitting for the Archers to cop this crown for they have beaten both the UAAP and NCAA champs to give themselves the right to be the Best Collegiate team in the country. My only regret is that I wont be seeing JV play anymore. Well most probably he will bring his act to the PBA next year. Congrats to Dr. Mikee Romero and Eric Arejola who I got to seat next to in this game.
