“I think nakaka-adjust na rin iyong mga bata (Est Cola) kahit papaano dito satin and doon sa laro nila but iyon nga, sobrang makikita mo rin na (kahit) mga bata pa, sabi ko nga, two to three years from now, ibang-ibang level na maglaro iyang mga iyan,” HD Spikers coach Shaq Delos Santos said. “So, very promising iyong team na iyon.
“Kami naman, I know na talagang pagod din, talagang nag-e-effort talaga iyong buong team para makapag-perform ng maayos and I’m so happy na binibigay nila iyong best nila and thankful kasi siyempre, no injuries talaga,” he added.
The Thai-based squad is now on the brink with a 0-3 slate.
Outside hitter Warisara Seetaloed was the lone bright star for Est Cola with 17 points and 10 excellent receptions.
