UP patutunayang eligible ang kanilang junior cager

Pang-masa

MANILA, Philippines - Hihingi ang University of the Philippines ng official document mula sa Department of Education para mabalewala ng elementary graduation sa Lourdes ang naunang primary education sa Naga ng kanilang high school player na si Jozhua Mcdaniel General upang maging eligible ito na maglaro sa kasalukuyang 76th UAAP juniors basketball tournament.

“Jozhua General is eligible to play for UPIS because as per DepEd, his graduation from Lourdes Mandaluyong in 2010 is his elementary graduation which supersedes his Grade Six graduation in Naga,” sabi ni UPIS coach Allan Gregorio kahapon.

Ito ang reaksiyon ni Gregorio sa desisyon ng UAAP board na ibasura ang apela ng UP na i-reconsider ang desisyon na ideklarang  ineligible si Gene-ral na lumaro sa liga dahil sa paglabag nito sa league rules sa maximum years allowed para sa isang high school player.

Ikinonsidera ng UAAP ang graduation ni General sa Naga at ang graduation sa Lourdes noong 2010 bilang basehan ng kanilang desisyon. Bunga ng desis-yong ito, binawi ang kaisa-isang panalo ng Junior Maroons sa firts round—ang 89-87 quadruple overtime panalo kontra sa Adamson Junior Falcons  noong July 15 sa Mall of Asia Arena sa Pasay City.

Ang ipinagtataka ni Gregorio ay kung bakit pinayagan ng technical committee ng liga na lumaro si General.
