Pisay Wars: a successful campaign for Charm and
the rest of the Yellow Team
by Brian Caparas
The Sports
Development Council, Student Alliance,
and the P.E. Department organized the
intramurals, called the Pisay Wars, for
school year 1997-1998. There were 8
participating houses with their
respective colors. Each house was
composed of four sections: one section
for each year level. Charm, Lithium,
Ilang-Ilang, and Topaz composed the
Yellow Team.
Girls Soccer
The Yellow soccer team was victorious in
their first two games, defeating Orange
and Violet teams. After their twin
victory, the championship confrontation
against the Green Team was set.
The game was tightly fought. Both squads
proved that they deserved to be in the
championship. Thanks to the heroics of
Honeylet Bescara of Charm, the Yellow
Team got the upper hand, 1-0. The Green
Team tried to stage a rally but because
of the tight defense of their opponents
and due to lack of time, they were not
able to even-up the score.
Boy Soccer
After earning two impressive wins against
the Orange Team, 3-0, and the Black Team,
1-0, the Yellow Team bowed to the Green
Team in the championship, thus finishing
second in the boys division.
The Yellow and the Green Team were evenly
matched before an unexpected goal by the
latter pushed them to the lead. The game
ended at 1-0, in favor of the Green Team.
Boys Basketball
When the game’s on the line for the
Yellow Team, where would you go to? Of
course, Allen Ayusa take-over. Mr Killer
Smile proved that he is not charming, but
the leader of his team as he led the
Yellow squad past the Red Team.
Due to their size advantage, the Red Team
dominated the first 2 quarters. The first
quarter ended at 15-8, and the second
quarter, 20-18, in favor of the Red Team.
Ayusa entered the game at the start of
the third quarter and almost
single-handedly rallied the Yellow Team.
The Yellow Team took the lead after the
quarter, 32-30. With the help of the
other members of the squad, the margin
widened and route to a 50-38 victory. The
Yellow Team enters the semis and was
supposed to face the Black Team.
Girls Basketball
The Yellow Girls Basketball Team also won
their elimination match against the
Violet Team. Due to rains and bad
weather, the other games were postponed.
Boys and Girls Volleyball
Both Volleyball teams of Yellow bowed to
their respective opponents and they were
eventually eliminated.

Charm’s Intrams Team Win
Soccer Division
In a
recent heavyweight title-bout intramurals soccer
division, the charm class, along with the rest of the
yellow team ( I-Topaz, II- Ilang2, III-Lithium), won the
Runner-up Position (Boys Soccer), and Champions (Girls
Soccer). In the girls soccer team, leading among the pack
were Charm’s ever illustrious Kartini Reyes,
Honeylet Bescara, and Vina Vargas. Emerging triumphant
over other heavily-favored teams, they won with style,
pride and grace. In the boys soccer team, however, they
only managed to get the runner-up position. In the first
two games, the yellow team defeated the orange and black
teams with great ease, even with the black teams’
array of Labuyo varsity players. In the Finals however,
the yellow team was unfortunately defeated by one lucky
goal of a very lucky green team player. Dismayed, but not
losing hope, the yellow team played with the same
intensity as ever before, with a squadron of shots that
never seemed to get into the goal. The yellow team held
on with a losing score of 0-1.
