Hard
grind pays
off for Mustangs
BY CEDELF TUPAS
As it has been for every successful squad, the road to the top, for the newest national basketball champions from Negros Occidental, was long and torturous, to say the least. But they were the West Negros College Mustangs and, if only for their faith and desire to achieve what provincial cage teams rarely pull off, all of the players, coaching staff and management truly deserve the victory.
FAITH
Coach Elvis Atinado underscores the team's remarkable
faith, which, he says, has been the key to their smashing success. "It's
like a river, these blessings from God," the multi-titled mentor said
yesterday, three days after the Mustangs produced a historic victory
in the National Students Basketball Championships in Legazpi City, where
they stamped their class against fancied Manila-based teams.
