Tension was so thick at the University Inner Court, you could almost touch it as the College of Teachers Education (CTE) and College of Arts and Sciences battled it out during their Basketball Women Championship Game.

The determination was evident between the two teams. CAS was determined to preserve the 3-year title while CTE was eager to bag the gold and emerge as overall champions this year.

Team Captains Mary Joy Guardiario (CAS) and Claire Villanueva (CTE) were certainly motivated to bring their team to the top. The match was heated due to the tight scores that seemed to heighten the suspense as the seconds tick by.

During the first quarter, a score of 5-4 was set in favor of CTE. The spectators were at the edge of their seats when the second quarter ended with the a score of 11 all which later grew to 21-19 during the third quarter still in CTE's favor. CAS Team Captain Mary Joy Guardiario was fouled out of the game during the final quarter after committing five fouls according to the referees' ruling. This seemed to have boosted CTE's hopes of bagging the championship title again after 3 long years. This led to a score of 26-21 still in favor of the blue team.

The game ended with a final score of 29-23 with CTE as the overall champion. Guardiario expressed her desire to do better next year, train harder and reclaim what has been lost but despite the dramatic turn of events, CAS won second place while the College of Nursing, who put up a good fight, won third place..

AN INTERVIEW WITH MEDELLIN AND BALAMBAN

With the 4-day long Intramurals 2017, athletes, some teachers and staff from CNU Balamban and Medellin packed their bags and stayed under the roof of CNU Main campus. The university allotted to them the second and third floor of the ASAB Building as their sleeping quarters.

 

"Mas accommodating nasiyakay di parehas sauna namaglisud mi sa water," Medellin SSG President ZheilResuera answered when asked about their week-long stay. She said that the athletes had to wake up at 3a.m. just to take a bath or wait until noon just to shower before. She even narrated having to sleep on plywoods before and was grateful that sleeping mats are now provided. Apparently, things have changed for the better.

Aires Cabalida, SSG Secretary of CNU Balamban shares the same delight.

​

"Nice siya. Wala mi biyaesaamung dean ug coaches," she said.

She also commended the efforts of the canteen staff for serving the food on time. She had no qualms about the past. The Main campus has always treated them well.

Resuera, however, shares her sentiments on how the Main students used to receive them.

"Naka-trigger sa conflict between CNU Medellin and Main kayang word nga 'taga-bukid'." She admitted that they had grudges about that.

​

"I think saintramsjudnakaydidtora man nasa word na 'taga-bukid'. Mura ugnahugna 'Hala, naanasadangmgataga-bukid ay.'" She emphasized.

But everything is fine now according to her. "Okay najudsiyakarun, accommodating naangtanan," she added, smiling.

​

When asked whether they are satisfied with the performance shown by their athletes "Of course, yes they exerted their efforts jud to the max jud. As in.Angkutobsailangmakaya."Cabalida said.

​

Resuera, on the other hand said that this is their best Intramurals so far. The Medellin team already garnered gold, silver and bronze medals. "So far, samgaduwa okay rajudsiya at least ma third or ma second dilijudingonngawalajudka place ba. Mas sakitnganaakasika-fifth niyakungkibawkanadapat mas ni thrive pa ka."

​

Resuera also share to us thelack of their resources, hampering their team to strive for gold. The Medellin placed third last year. She expressed their team's desire to achieve for more but their financial insufficiency held them back.

​

"Amo athletes karonwana provide-an ugpagkaon. Sabot mi daanbakayamora gung payment 100 niyapilaragud mi. 500 rakapin, pinakataaskay 888 niya tag 100 langniyaigora man gudnasaamoangmga expenses kanangparasa uniform.

Mao jud nay grabenga payback samga athletes saamoakaynaninguha man pud mi ngamaka-uniform sila."Resuera said, recalling their struggles before making it here.
