La Salle Archers welcome new players

THE La Salle Green Archers welcomed the inclusion of two homegrown talents, who have decided to stay on to play for their alma mater.

Green Archers’ coach Topex Robinson confirmed this after he accepted the com mitments made by De La Salle Zobel forward Rhyle Melencio and La Salle Green Hills point guard Ethan Alian early this week.

Robinson was impressed with Melencio, a member of the UAAP Season 85 Boys’ Basketball Mythical Team.

“I was surprised and impressed with the way he grew and improved. His scoring and rebounding show his potential and his dedication to growing into his craft. Hindi naman ‘yun tsamba dahil ginawa niya talaga ‘yun and that’s the result of his sacrifice for his growth,” said Robinson on Melencio, who averaged 17.4 points and 14.9 rebounds last season.
