Bolick&#x27;s demonstration of exhilaration caught the attention of coach Boyet Fernandez who didn&#x27;t want Bolick or any of his players prematurely celebrating. &quot;It&#x27;s not yet over,&quot; Fernandez <a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/11/10/17/ncaa-san-beda-coach-reminds-bolick-its-not-yet-over">said</a> at the time.With the championship in the bag, now&#x27;s the time to let all the emotions loose.(For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/">ABS-CBN Sports website.</a>)
