The Ateneo Blue Eaglets continued its domination over their Katipunan neighbors as they won their 11th game with the demolition of the UP Junior Maroons, 129-43. It was one of those games that Ateneo was expected to win. And as the regulars in gameface's Blue Eagle's Nest would say, "First quarter pa lang, tapos na ito". And that's just what the Eaglets did.

The first quarter was played with Ateneo answering UP's baskets with massive scoring runs. The Junior Maroons opened the game with a three pointer which the Eaglets answered back immediately with a 10-0 blast. Then a lay up for UP brought them closer, 10-5 in favor of the AHS. However that was the last that UP scored for the quarter. Ateneo went on a blinding 20-0 run anchored on the Eaglet's defensive pressure. The quarter ended ADMU 30 UP 5. This was done with Ateneo's main offensive threats, Kiefer Ravena, Von Pessumal and Paolo Romero taking turns leading the team on the floor.
The 2nd quarter proved to be the Junior Maroons' best quarter as they scored 16 points. However, this hardly made a dent on the Ateneo offense as the Eaglets answered back with 31. The quarter was highlighted by a fast break play between Kiefer and Von where the two ran the length of the court without dribbling the ball. This gave them a 30 point lead midway through the quarter. The first half ended with a Kiefer Lim three pointer and Ateneo up 61-21.

In the third quarter, Coach Jamike let loose maybe his strongest 5 with Kiefer, Von and Paolo backed up by Freshman Jay Javelosa and Chuck Dumrique. The 5 opened the quarter with a 11-0 run that was only ended by a 3 pointer by UP's Ancheta. This however was quickly answered back by Ateneo with another 12-0 blast. With Ateneo comfortably ahead 84-24 and with 4 minutes left in the quarter, Coach Jamike sent in his 2nd 5 consisting of Lambert Tenorio, Bolek Vitangcol, Marky Mercado, Jay Sacluti and Mio Puno. This 2nd five continued to wreck havoc on the court as they produced another 11 points for Ateneo compared to UP's 6 point output. The 3rd quarter ended with Ateneo more than doubling UP's output, 95-30.
The final quarter started with Ateneo fielding in their 2nd, 2nd team (as they all performed as well as the previous 5) composed of Jan Reseurreccion, Josh Gadia, Gerard Austria, Kiefer Lim and Mark Gamboa. This team finally brought the Ateneo into the century mark with a 3 by Josh Gadia, 2 minutes in to the quarter. At this point, Ateneo shuffled it's players around experimenting on different team compositions. Despite the changes in the line ups, Ateneo continued to play pressure defense and scored on multiple turnovers by the UP Junior Maroons. The game finally ended with Ateneo with a 86 point lead, 129-43.
Josh Gadia's three pointers continued to increase Ateneo's lead in the fourth quarter.

The Eaglets are now 11-0. The only other team in the entire league with a spotless record are the Adamson Lady Falcons (who beat the Lady Eagles today. More on that in the next entry). The Eaglets are now in the final stretch of the second round. They have 3 more teams (DLSZ, FEU and NU) to get through to complete their sweep. They may have beat these teams with double digit leads, but expect them to have already adjusted their games to match the Blue Eaglets brand of basketball. However, I am sure Coach Jamike and his Blue Eaglets are more than ready to take on the challenges of these teams.
Go Blue Eaglets! One Big Fight!
