Bulldogs, Archers seal Filoil crown showdown
NATIONAL University coach Eric Altamirano said going up against Ateneo always feels like “climbing a mountain.”
But it looked like a walk in the park this time as the Bulldogs stunned the Blue Eagles with an 85-68 rout yesterday to claim the first championship berth in the Filoil Flying V Pre-Season Hanes Cup.
La Salle made it a double shocker as the Green Archers ousted NCAA champion San Beda, 50-46, in the other knockout semifinals at the Filoil Flying V Arena.
Bobby Ray Parks pumped in 30 points and six rebounds to power the unbeaten Bulldogs to the finals on Tuesday.
“When you play Ateneo, it’s like climbing a mountain,” said Altamirano
