“Setter po ang pinakaimportante kasi di po kami makakapalo. Si Kizzie Madriaga.”
Player of the game is the 5’5 Utility Jelaica Faye Gajerio, a 15 year old who is everywhere in the court from spiking to blocking. Jelaica recognizes their team’s setter Kizzie Madriaga as the one that is the most important reason of their win. “Setter po ang pinakaimportante kasi di po kami makakapalo. Si Kizzie Madriaga.”
CAL has pretty busy slate and the Grade 9 POG Jelaica mentioned they just finished and won a tournament yesterday. “Nagulat lang po kami marami po kasi kaming league na sinalihan and tambak na po kami. Gaya po ng Rebisco Batang Pinoy Luzon Volleyball League Regionals, champion po kami, magrerepresent sa Nov 30 sa Nationals kalaban namin Malaysia etc.” The team was also this year’s Silver Medalist at the CALABARZON Regional Championship.
But beyond their busy slate, the POG enjoys joining the new CVA Amateur Tournament and hopes to one day become her idol Rachel Ann Daquis.
