Cebu standout to join Growling Tigers next season
THE UST Growling Tigers has recruited Cebuano guard Zachary Huang of the reigning Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation, Inc. (CESAFI) juniors champions Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu Magis Eagles.
“I am really a competitive person and in Manila there is a higher level of competition and that is why I opted to go there rather than stay in Cebu,” Huang told the Varsitarian in an email.
The 6’2’’ combo guard said UST was the only UAAP school that offered him a slot after Tigers head coach Bong dela Cruz saw him in action during the 2014 Palarong Pambansa.
UST assistant coach Ballesteros quits
Dec. 19, 2014, 5:41 p.m. - UST GROWLING Tigers assistant coach Ernesto “Estong” Ballesteros has formally resigned from his duties to focus on other matters.
In a phone interview with the Varsitarian Friday, Ballesteros said he originally planned to leave with former head coach Pido Jarencio earlier this year.
But he said he stayed when asked by new chief tactician Bong dela Cruz to stay put.
“Plano ko na rin sumabay kay coach Pido kaso nag-stay naman ako dahil kinausap ako ni coach Bong," he said.
