The new-look FaculTech Black Hawks and the rechristened JCA Roaring Lions (formerly the Doves) rekindle their rivalry Wednesday next week in this school year's first exhibition match between the squads.
The high school varsity team, mentored by Physical Education teacher Darwin dela Torre, faces off with the crew made up of teachers, technical staff and some guest players at the JCSGO Seed Dome in the start of a series of matches that will go throughout the year.
Likewise, the game will serve as a tune-up for the Roaring Lions, who are set to make waves in the upcoming Quezon City Athletic Association hoops wars, which kicks off August 14.
Game time is at 4:15 pm to be preceded by a battle between the JCA Roaring Cubs (grade school varsity) and a Freshman-Sophomore selection at 3:15 pm.
According to Supreme Student Government adviser Josiah Israel Albelda, these games will serve as some sort of "pep rally" for the varsity teams as they hope to erase the stigma of failed seasons past and look forward to a fruitful year for sports in JCA.
Tickets will be sold starting Friday at Php 20.00. For inquiries, look for Sir Dela Torre, Danielle Nakpil, Alexx Esponga and Darah Urbano (High School) and Sir Janmark Fuerte, Danah Pagulayan and Keziah Remojo (Grade School.)
The event is sponsored by the High School SSG, in cooperation with the High School Department, the Grade School Department, and the Sports Club.
