Recap

not Your average kuyas; THUNDERCATS RESURRECTED

The Average Kuyas will be debuting this season led by Volume 2.0 #1 overall pick Cris Dapon vs Thundercats who resurrected their original name after playing as Kuya Cats for two seasons in this season’s opener.

Scouting report says that the ‘Cats will be featuring a young team with Rodje Villa, Kean Oham, Phoenix Galing, Matea Mandabon, and Ace Jhon Sicam – all still in high school mentored by veterans Gil Mandabon, Lito Matildo, James Griffith, Dennis Villa, Tito Galing, and Paolo Olea.

Rodje, Phoenix, and Matea had been playing in this league for a while and the other teams already have a few things in store for them. However, the arrival of Kean Oham and Ace Sicam may provide some headaches from opposing team. Ace is a newcomer from the Philippines boasting a towering 6’0″ – which is already tall for Filipino Standards can play perimeter and midrange. Meanwhile, Kean is an athletic guard who can set the court on fire in an instant. Not to build Kean too much, but he is our baby Lebron in Harry Stone the last time we saw him – 2 years ago.

Do not get deceived by The Average Kuyas demeanor and team name. They are not your average Kuyas – maybe because they are now ANGKOLS. Cris Dapon picked a team that were mostly new players and not much scouting data is available. Jordan Rey is a 6’0″ behemoth who can run the court, play in the post, and bang bodies around. Roy Lor is both a perimeter threat and a big guard. Melchor Dupale getting his shooting legs back had been setting TBU and NTBC on fire lately with his timely 3 pointers. Mark Regondola is your 5’11” cyclist who runs the court like he was on a bike and plays both in the paint and in perimeter.

Jawo Feniquito and Kenz Jacob provides a solid shooting guard presence for the Kuyas and may be their Trump cards this season.

Not much had been known about newcomers Gerard Nicasio and Marvin Francisco. We will try to find out as the season progress.

Tip off is March 23, 2024 @ 0930AM – Harry Stone Recreation Center
