A COACH from a high school team (HS 1) cried foul on the latest dirty tactic of their rival school (HS 2) when the latter allegedly paid one of the former’s star players to not show up for HS 1 this year.

A source told Buzzer Beater that the HS 1 head coach was visibly upset after learning that HS 2 offered his star player a huge sum of money to not show up to their basketball tournaments.

“Medyo na-upset si (HS 1) coach noong malaman nga na binayaran pala iyong isang player niya para magtago. Bakit kasi kailangang umabot sa puntong ganoon e malakas din naman [ang HS 2]?” said the source.

“Ang buong akala ni (HS 1) coach ay may problemang pangpersonal lang iyong star player niya kaya umuwi muna sa lugar nila ng walang paa-paalam last December,” the source added.

“Malaki ang epekto noong pagkawala ni star player sa (HS 1) team dahil lagi silang kinakapos sa mga qualifying tournaments sa lugar nila samantalang si HS 2 iyong laging nagtsa-champion.

“Hindi naman ito ang first time na nakatikim ng panggugulang si HS 1 coach mula kay HS 2. Doon sa mga tournaments na pinaglalaruan nila pansin ni HS 1 coach na laging pabor kay HS 2 iyong mga tawagan iyon pala hawak nila ang referee.

“Hindi naman galit si HS 1 coach doon sa star player niya. Naintindihan niya na nasilaw lang ito dahil hindi rin ganoon kaganda ang kabuhayan ng pamilya niya. Ipinagpapa-sa-Diyos na lang ni coach iyan dahil alam niya malinis siyang lumaban.”

SOTOMIL AND MAROONS

Ilongga star setter Marianne Sotomil got a dose of “Maroon love” on Friday evening after her school Bacolod Tay Tung High School Thunderbolts played a tune-up game with University of the Philippines Lady Maroons.

Sotomil, who is set to move to the Lady Maroons camp later this year, got a warm welcome from her future teammates until their exhibition match started where Lady Maroons dominated Thunderbolts 25-19, 25-14.

“I got mixed emotions entering here in UP,” Sotomil said. “Siyempre may kaba din kasi first time kong makatapak dito but, at the same time, excited because of the warm welcome ng mga (UP players).”

Sotomil showed her efficiency in front of her future teammates with her setting ability for Thunderbolts players, making Lady Maroons more excited for their upcoming rookie.

“This is her first game in front of her future teammates and I can say she is impressive,” said Tay Tung vice president for sports Jose Montalbo. “I got a word from UP that they are very excited to have her after her stint with us.”

Sotomil and Thunderbolts are currently in Manila as Western Visayas’ representative in the Akari National High School Volleyball Championships being held at the Adamson University Gym./PN
