ESCANDOR CUP: Ateneo seeks three titles

IF THREE straight titles are called three-peat, what are three straight titles in one day in three divisions called?
Don’t tire yourself google-ing. The answer is spelled in one word—domination.
That too is what is written on the foreheads of the three Ateneo de Davao University squads seeking a sweep of all three titles at stake in the Finals of the 1st Emilio D. Escandor Memorial Cup on Sunday at the Davao City Recreation Center.
First to take a crack at the coveted triple crown is the Blue Knights’ Mini squad which takes on Assumption College of Davao at 10:00 a.m.
Next up will be their Passerelle squad which goes up against archrival Holy Child School of Davao at 11:45 a.m. The Blue Knights are taking an immaculate record to the championship and should have the upperhand in this exciting match-up.
The last title at stake will be the Juniors crown where Ateneo takes on another Holy Child side for the championship at 1:30 p.m.
“Ateneo has the edge in the match ups but you can never count out the chances of Holy Child and Assumption. On any given day, upsets can happen,” said Jek Melendres, tournament commissioner.
Awarding ceremonies will follow at 3:30 p.m. with no less than Glen Escandor, Gen. Manager of the sponsoring Royal Mandaya Hotel, presiding over the trophy rites in this tournament held in honor of the late Emilio D. Escandor.
