UE Red Warriors secure fourth place with three straight wins in UAAP Season 87

University of the East continues its strong performance in the UAAP Season 87 Junior High School Boys' Basketball Tournament with three consecutive wins after initial setbacks, securing fourth place.

The Red Warriors recently defeated De La Salle University, National University, and Far Eastern University, extending their winning streak to three games.

Coach Jack Santiago credits his players for growing confidence in their abilities and sticking to the game plan, emphasizing humility despite individual successes.

Guard John Abate has been a key player with 9.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game, though Coach Santiago advises him to stay grounded.

UE's current momentum marks a significant turnaround for the team, which hasn't made it to the Final Four in over a decade, driven by strong community support and inspired coaching.
