The Ardent Fields of Ratagnon (Yellow Tamaraws) ripped The Noble Mountains of Bugkalot (Green Pangolins), (2-0, 0-2, 2-0), to cop the championship in Sepak Takraw in the Basic Education School Intramurals, on December 7.

Jan Mikel Mallillin, Tekong, unleashed a header to complete the rout in the 2nd set of the 3rd regu match, 21-16.

The Yellow Tamaraws spiked through a victorious 2-game win, (23-22, 21-15) in the 1st regu, and (21-14, 21-16) in the 3rd regu.

The Green Pangolins settled for a 2nd place finish after failing to secure a tie-breaker set in the last lap.

However, they dominated in the 2nd regu, (14-21, 13-21).

Mallillin, an 11th grade student from St. Anthony of Padua, said that the team surpassed hardships during their preparation as he was injured several times.

“Pati ako [na-pilay]! Na-overcome [naman].”

“Masaya! May pinagbunga ‘yung mga pagpa-practice namin,” he stated in an interview.

The Valorous Caves of Tasaday (Red Haribon) claimed the 3rd place, while The Dauntless Seas of Tausug (Blue Wavebreakers) stood at 4th.
