NOW assured of a top two placement out of the NCAA Bracket, Benilde<\/a> is trending upwards in the PlayTime Cares 18th Filoil EcoOil Preseason Cup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For them to keep on reaching for greater heights, though, coach Charles Tiu<\/a> is pointing to a particular player as the key to their hopes in the tourney – and even until NCAA Season 101<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cNumber one, I think he\u2019s our best guard by far,\u201d he said. \u201cComplete kasi yung game ni Tony.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tony, of course, is the nickname of two-way guard Winston Ynot<\/a>, who has been posting per game counts of 4.7 points, 3.3 assists, and 1.7 boards through Benilde’s 7-1 record.<\/p>\n

Not gaudy, per se, but Tiu claims that his end-to-end impact takes the Blazers to the next level whenever he’s suited up and seeing action.<\/p>\n

As he put it, \u201cHis confidence is different, iba \u2018yung energy na binibigay niya.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tony says, Y Not?<\/p>\n

That energy, alongside his trademark effort, is much-welcome for a green-and-white side still without versatile wing Justine Sanchez<\/a> due to back injury.<\/p>\n

For his part, Ynot vows to continue giving his all even as he himself is still recovering from a lower leg injury.<\/p>\n

“Yung hustle ko, andyan naman, pero kulang pa lang din ngayon kasi may iniinda pa ‘ako,” said the graduating guard hailing from Misamis Occidental.<\/p>\n

With Ynot showing the way, Benilde is rounding into form just in time for the preseason playoffs.<\/p>\n

And if their so-called difference-maker continues to prove himself, the Blazers are hoping that NCAA Season 101 gets a different ending from their two silvers and one bronze in the last three years.<\/p>\n
