ON THE brink of glory.
Flaunting a little of everything in its retooled artillery, the Faculty of Arts and Letters (Artlets) is slowly making its championship intentions clear in the 2007 Thomasian Goodwill Games basketball wars.
The AB team capped the month-long eliminations with a flawless 7-0 slate, following a 96-78 drubbing of the Ecclesiastical Faculties last December 13 at the Engineering Sports Complex.
Banking on the prolific three-point sniping of shooting guard Ed De la Torre, Artlets underscored its reputation as the fiercest offensive machineries in the tournament, whipping their opponents by an average margin of 19 points an outing.
“We are excited going to the finals, the competition is much more intense compared to previous games,” Artlet guard Rainier Santos told the Varsitarian.
Prior to shellacking the Ecclesiastical Faculties squad, Artlets posted a 76-71 thumping of a scrappy College of Commerce team, 76-71, last December 7, three days after manhandling the UST Graduate School, 106-36, last December 4.
Earlier last November 28, Artlets downed UST Team-B, 87-80, after narrowly prevailing over the gritty College of Science, 64-63, last November 26. Artlets grabbed its second win over the College of Fine Arts and Design, 79-74, last November 21 after debuting with an 81-53 rout of the AMV-College of Accountancy last November 14.
