EXCLUSIVELY CABRERA 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

“Ito na yung parang last chance namin kasi gra-graduate na yung mga key players namin. Dapat mapanalo na namin ‘to. Tatalunin namin yung Ateneo,” said Roider with hopeful boldness in his voice during an exclusive phone interview.

Roider Ross Cabrera joined the Soaring Falcons Men’s Basketball team during the 72^nd season of UAAP. Standing 6’4”, this “Power Forward” has proven his might in the heat of a game.

 A celebrated streak-shooter

In the 2010 FilOil Tournament, he dragged the Falcons to victory by scoring all of his points in the fourth period. It was that time when his name has been interchangeable to “three-pointer’. He had it going until his fifth in the game.

In a web article, Coach Leo Austria has spoken about Cabrera’s play:

 “We switched to a motion offense, which was specifically for him, so every time he was open—he took the shot, and Cabrera is someone who would always have that confidence to take those kinds of shot,” said coach Leo Austria after the game [2010 FilOil Tournament].

Taking it outside UAAP, Adamson has established their stance over Ateneo.

How long did your team prepare for this?
             “After nung last game namin, nag-start na kami.”

 Among the players in your team, who do you think would bring victory to Adamson? Just give me 5.

             “Si Alvarez, Nuyles, Camson, Manyara, Colina,” he answered.
