Kung hindi namin maipakita yung talent namin dito, sayang yung tiwala na binigay sa amin lalo na hindi naging maganda yung pinakita namin sa 5-on-5,” said Espinas, reflecting on Ateneo’s last-place finish in the 5-on-5 tournament a few months back.University of the Philippines Integrated School also stayed in contention with a 15-13 victory over University of the East.

Malaking achievement kasi sa akin kung makuha namin yung double championship bago ako magpunta sa college,” said Dajao, who is playing in her final high school tournament before transitioning to the collegiate level.In the junior high school boys’ division, Ateneo remained on top with a 4-0 record after trouncing NU, 21-5.Sky Jazul led the way with seven points, while Q Molina added six. Zane Kallos had five points and five rebounds, and YJ Lacsamana chipped in three points to complete the Blue Eagles’ balanced effort, pushing them closer to a semifinal berth while dropping the Bullpups to 1-3.UPIS and UST remained tied for second at 3-1. The Junior Maroons held off UE, 19-14, while the Junior Tiger Cubs cruised past winless Adamson, 21-12.Jhustin Hallare starred for UPIS with 14 points and said after the game, “Our goal is to make it to the Final Four. We have a very good and strong lineup. We’re going for it. It’s gonna be very big for us in UPIS if we win this.”FEU-Diliman also improved to 2-2, tying UE for fourth place following a 21-11 win over DLSZ.
