When Kiefer Ravena started his collegiate career with Ateneo, he had the seven-footer Greg Slaughter with him and last year he had swing man Chris Newsome by his side.
For Season 78, Ravena is the lone star for the Blue Eagles as they try to reclaim the throne they once perched on for five years.
And head coach Bo Perasol wants his system to revolve around Ravena.
“Actually I want it to be more Kiefer-centric,” Perasol said after the Blue Eagles clipped Adamson, 84-60, Saturday at Mall of Asia Arena. “What’s important are the other guys to follow Kiefer’s lead.”

Perasol knows Ravena’s worth for the Blue Eagles and credits him for their performance the past three years.
“Without Kiefer, we wouldn’t achieve what we have done for the past three years.”
“The other guys have to accept the fact that they have Kiefer but they have to contribute too.”
