U15 Kids Showcase Impressive Basketball Skills



  
The Abaknon Sports League recently held a basketball skills clinic in Capul followed by exhibition matches among player under 15 years old. Three teams went thru knock-out matches: Brgy. 5, Brgy 3&4 and the Manila-based selection.

The games turned out to be truly exciting – as the players wowed the crowd with skills far beyond their years. In fact, some of the players have already represented the province of Northern Samar in the EVRAA. That indeed was confirmation of the extra-ordinary talent that they have honed.


All three matches proved to be exciting and closely-fought but at the end of the skirmishes, the Manila-based basketeers showed superior talent and composure and emerged as winner. But that came in the face of a real scare from the straight-shooting gunners of Brgy. 3&4 who peppered the basket with flawless three-pointers.

If the level of skills displayed by the players were an indication of how much better they could become, then there is no doubt that they will follow the footsteps of Joey Mente and be a part of the PBA or any other national league in the future. Abaknons will then be very proud.

Coached by Mr. Oniel Pelito, they wore coconut leaves woven like skirts as they simulated the tuba-gatherers. This group proved to be the most colorful and playful of the lot. And here are raw video clips of their performance.

Abaknon Festival: Tribu Paragmalli

If Brgy. San Luis brought crabs, this group brought a stand-out animal - the Pinoy beast of burden. But huge it may have been, it was not able to steal the thunder away from the real stars of the show - the street performers. This group won Best in Costume and Best in Performance Showcase for the barangay-based competition.

Editorial: A Future For Sale

Note: This post is the Administrator's take on how the recent elections went. Fair comments are welcome. From how I saw it, it was indeed an impressive election. It definitely was more peaceful than the most recent ones. Automation made the process exciting (or worrisome) but at the same time challenging. Truly, it was heartwarming to see people brave the punishing summer heat and the tiring wait just to be able to cast their votes. There is no doubt in my mind that the results reflected the Abaknons’  true democratic will. However, why they voted for whom is an entirely different issue.  I wish to think that in the final analysis, they did vote with the thought of what’s best for Capul. But even with that, any voter who receives money during election time still compromises his vote.  While I do not wish to rob the winners of the glory of their victory, I bet that the aftertaste of their win would have been much sweeter if they (again, i mean ALL of them) did not gi...
