The most awaited event has come.
"Linggo ng Kabataan at our Barangay has begun.
Two sports will be played.
It will be Basketball and Volleyball.
Open for all aspiring players, may it youngsters, teenagers, and the seniors...
You might be confuse why there was a seniors division of this event because its suppose to be for the youth. Well, it was actually initiated by our SK Chairperson. "Para naman daw mabinat yung mga kalamnan ng mga may edad na at maipakita kung may ibubuga pa ba sila sa larangan ng isports."
A week before the event, our SK Chairperson prepared the necessary documents to get a budget from our Municipal Office for the prizes. He also asked a sponsorship funds for our team uniform, both Volleyball and Basketball that still on the process of approval. Then, on my birthday, they have discussed about the event and then posted on Facebook as well. And last night, it has all begun.
The first event was the Basketball for Boys Division followed by the Forty Uppers Division, (players with an age 40 up). The first game was played by Purok 3 versus Purok 4, (winner Purok 3). The second games was played Purok 1 versus Purok 2, (winner Purok 1). The third game was played by Purok 6 versus Purok 7, (winner Purok 6).
As for the Forty Uppers' Division, it should have two games but because of lack of players, automatically, the team from Proper won the game. And the next game was played by Sitio Kagario versus Sitio Patag. And the best part, "my papa or my dad played for Sitio Kagario's team."
My papa was actually a Basketball player during his youthful days. Like us today, their team also joined a lot of leagues, including the games held at our barangay during fiesta celebrations. Together with his older brother, my cousin Rhian's father and his younger brother, one of my volleyball teammates' father and his younger cousin and other relatives that loves to play this sport. As I remembered, they were always included in the top three teams and even became the champions. ("Share ko lang. ^_^)
Going back, the commentators including us, the audiences reminded them to just take it slow, because you know, "medyo may edad na, at madali nang mahingal." That they should call for a time out whenever necessary. Of course, as usual for a game to start, there should be a jump ball. The first two points was taken by the opponents' team. They even reached times two in the first quarter of the game. But my papa's team didn't give up easily. They gave all they've got to be ahead in points. In the second quarter they had an advantage of three points. Then a sudden accident occurs. My Tito got a collision with the other player and got a nosebleed, so that calls for a time out. Gladly, an immediate response came to attend the casualty. Then after few minutes, the game continued.
In the third quarter of the game, both teams were on fire. They didn't miss any chances to take a point. It was a close fight but my papa's team did their very best to be ahead all the way to the final quarter. And yes! THEY WON! (celebrating)
If you want to watch their game, here's a live video of it that was posted on Facebook.
