Hi Mike!
Thanks for the assist there. If Springdale were also at the RIFA Cup, I’m sure Cebu would’ve won more age groups, if not get the top 2 slots. The SHSJ team was known more as the team from “Cebu” & not Sacred Heart per se up until the awarding ceremonies when they clearly read an announced the full name of the school.
I can send more action pictures if you don’t mind. (I’m at bleachertalk@yahoo.com).
frankly speaking, the teams playing here in cebu are better than the teams in rifa. if we really want our kids to improve, it is better( and less costly )to play here or in san carlos or in bacolod.
i didnt mean to downplay the win of sacred heart because there are also good teams there like ateneo or southridge that they defeated.
I agree with that assessment. With that being said, exposure outside one’s comfort zone is also a good idea.
The primary purpose of the Manila trip to play in the RIFA Cup was for “exposure.” The big idea was to give the kids a chance to play in another place against other teams that they usually face in tournaments. Winning the tournament becomes a bonus. Playing and going to Manila (the big city) is also an educational trip on its own especially for us promdis.
SHSJ played in San Carlos last May 2006 & will most likely go back again this year. Now that I’ve said all this….I devoted a whole piece about this “exposure” thing in Bleacher Talk (Freeman, every Sunday – plug with Mike’s permission?) or at http://bleachertalk.blogspot.com.
