Coach Sugar arranged for a practice game against Ateneo but only Ateneo’s Midgets A team is ready to play on Saturday. Last time Ateneo and HEdCen met in this age group was in the Midgets B RIFA games where the match ended in 0-0. Skie almost won it for HEdCen when his shot which cruised past the keeper bounced of the post.

HEdCen Midgets A may have the edge in this match if they maintain the momentum they’ve had in the past 2 weeks improving a lot on combination plays along the wings, playing through passes to cutters in the middle, and a never-before-seen teamwork which got them past Marist 3-1 last week. Ateneo players are bigger and if they manage to often get a body on HEdCen players, this will benefit them a lot. HEdCen’s defense will have to hold. Hopefully, HEdCen will maintain its team play and even improve it some more with better timing, better decisions on the field, and more hardwork.
