Shadow Caster (Part 1)

     Take a look at Xavier School's basketball star Jeron Teng and you understand he's a player.  WIth a chiseled physique and great atleticism, you just know the kid can play ball.  Have a conversation with him, though, you get to know a polite boy with great humility and humor.  You then have to wonder if the news were true.  Yes it is. The kid scored 104 points in a single game (on 37 for 70 shooting from the field and 29 for 34 from the free throw stripe), on top of 24 rebounds two steals and two blocks.  From the Fifty Peso Seats presents an exclusive one on one interview with the Philippines' high school phenom, Jeron Teng of Xavier High School.


From the 50 Peso Seats: So first things first. Congrats on winning your third straight championship. How does it feel to capture the title yet again?


Jeron Teng: I'm really happy that we were able to get the 4-peat this year. We just made history as the longest championship streak in the Tiong Lian (basketball league) prior to ours was 3. Moreover, that streak was also set by Xavier during the time of Joseph Yeo, TY Tang, and Chris Tiu (all professional players now), so we're all really proud of ourselves to make history this way.
