Updates Along The Sidewalk: August 14, 2013

Well, it's been a while ever since my last post. You guys may wonder why. Well...

School has taken it's toll on me. Not only physically but mentally. So I decided that I'll be taking a slight hiatus for the meantime.

How long?

Till August 24, the last day of our exams.

I'm really sorry that I had to do this, but the thing is, junior year has really been harsh not only to me but also to my batch mates, so I was really forced to do this. So if you guys may be wondering what articles you should watch out for..

An INCREDIBLY overdue FIBA Asia Gilas Pilipinas post
UAAP Main Game Recaps and Breakdowns
PBA Main Game Recaps and Breakdowns
PBA MVP/BPC Rankings
Some sentimental emo thoughts

I'll be back, so watch out. :)

At first glance, it means that you're a player who's more than ready to make it to the big leagues. You're not just expected to do well in the collegiate level. Some expect you to go ahead and dominate in an instant. Jonas Tibayan...

The effects of Goldwin Monteverde's reported resignation from Adamson

On the afternoon of April 11, 2017, SPIN.ph reported that coach Goldwin Monteverde has resigned from his position as head coach of the Adamson Baby Falcons. Rumors of coach Goldwin's resignation has been going around High School basketball circles, so the news of the resignation didn't come as that much of a surprise for insiders. (Photo Credit: Hazel Siy) But for fans, the move came as quite the surprise. After all, the Baby Falcons were still projected to contend for a championship despite the controversial end that they had to their Season 79 campaign.

The fact of the matter is, Goldwin Monteverde could very well be going out of the Adamson basketball program. This move creates then a number of effects not just for the San Marcelino-based school, but also the rest of High School basketball. 1. The effect it has on the Adamson Ju...
