Racela hopes late Manzano father proud despite Falcons' loss

Adamson head coach Nash Racela hopes Cedrick Manzano's late father would be proud of his team's performance despite their loss to Ateneo in the UAAP Season 86 playoff.

Manzano played through his father's hospitalization and eventual passing, averaging strong stats in his last two games but being restricted by Ateneo in the playoff match, leading Adamson to a 70-48 defeat and elimination from the Final Four.

In their crucial victory against UE earlier, Manzano led with a double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds despite personal health concerns affecting his father.
