    I never thought I could ever write a sports article, not till I tried it yesterday. The Division Training for School Paper Advisers yesterday and today "forced" me to write one, and it turned out well, much to my surprise. The speaker there, Ms. Benilda Villenas, MSEUF Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, a seasoned and award-winning campus paper adviser and lecturer, wrote comments like "very good lead" and "very good sports reporting" on my paper! As I am very ecstatic about this, I’d like to share with you all my very first sports article. 

Blue Knights Run Over Marians
A crucial free throw shot with only three seconds left on the clock paved the way for a victory of the Blue Knights over the Marians at the "Shoot for a Cause" game last Aug. 20 at the Quezon Convention Center.

The International School for Better Beginnings high school basketball varsity team led all three quarters of the game. It was only Maryhill College’s Lajara who worked his way up to the fourth quarter into a deadlock at 71-71, five seconds remaining before the final buzzer.

Just as QCC heated up with its air conditioners off, the blood pumping excitement on the game sizzled more as ISBB’s team captain Sanga was given two shots at the free throw line when the referee called for a foul play by a Marian. With a nerve cracking pressure from the spectators, Sanga missed his first shot.

Silence fell over the hardcourt while the Blue Knight aimed at his last free shot. Thunderous cheers followed the successful one-point lead made by Sanga, ending the game 72-71.
