BLEACHERS BREW EST. MAY 2006

Someone asked me how my blog and newspaper column came to be titled "Bleachers Brew". It's like this, it's an amalgam of sorts of two things: The bleachers area in the stadium/arena where I used to sit when I would watch baseball, football, and basketball games and Miles Davis' great jazz album Bitches Brew. That's how it got culled together. I originally planned on calling it "The View from the Big Chair" that is a nod to Tears For Fear's second album, Songs from the Big Chair. So there.

NU sweeps tough Hope Christian for Pool A top seed; takes on HRC in semis tomorrow



NU sweeps tough Hope Christian for Pool A top seed; takes on HRC in semis tomorrow


Nazareth School of National University looked to roll over Hope Christian High School but Jerry Yee’s girls didn’t give the Pool A top seed spot on a silver platter to the three-time UAAP Girls Division Champions as they made a game of it in the second set.

Playing good floor coverage and resiliency in their attacks, HCHS tied the match at 23-all. NU setter Joyme Cagande finished off HCHS with a deft serve that led to a NU point then a service ace to close out the match, 25-15 and 25-23.

Michaela Belen led NSNU with 10 points while Alyssa Solomon added five for head coach Raymond Castillo’s team.

With the win, NSNU claimed the top spot of Pool A and will battle Holy Rosary College in the crossover semi-finals on Saturday, November 25.

In the other semi-finals, De La Salle Lipa will play Hope Christian High School.
