What comes into your mind with the color green? Me? After witnessing the Philippine Collegiate Champions League 2009 (elimination round) in our school, I remember how the Green Archers beat the Don Bosco, St. Francis and our school the UNC greyhounds (BTW, I’m not embarrassed watching them lose. It’s not our fault that the Green Archers are better!). In short, whenever I see the color green the DLSU Green Archers comes into my mind. It was a three day event that truly captured the hearts of the young one’s, especially the ladies (including me!). To be honest, I barely know the players because I have to go to school during Saturdays, missing the UAAP games in Studio23. I am fund of watching basketball games but I have never watched a live match with famous players. Watching the Green Archers play live? I never imagined or expected for it to come true. Seeing them in person was a dream that came true for us young ladies. Even the pep squad made me more excited, since lifting and tossing is prohibited during our intramurals in the event of cheer dance. The half-time break performances of the Green Archers Pep Squad added some spice in every game. Their breath taking routines, cartwheels, lifting and tossing gave me an adrenaline rush. Watching them for three days made us sad and made our hearts scream for them to come back. Aw! We will miss you Green Archers! We wish you all the best for this year’s PCCL and we hope to see and watch you again soon. ANIMO LA SALLE!
