Red White, Go Fight, Shepherds Fight!  

After a three-year hiatus, the long-awaited comeback of the RCBNES Fraternal-Friendly Sports Tournament was formally opened yesterday, October 21, 2023, at the gymnasium of Colegio de San Bartolome de Novaliches.

The nine participating RCBNES schools made their way through the gym as each team proudly represents their school. Our fellow Shepherds, Nathan Drake Reyes, led the oath-taking of players while Gwinnie Anne Asa led the lighting of the cauldron symbolizing the start of the annual tournament.

Shepherds once again showed their determination throughout the opening day as three teams swept a win: Juniors Basketball (54-39), Midgets Volleyball (2-1), and Juniors Volleyball (2-1). With more games ahead of them, the Shepherds are expected to passionately defend their four-peat overall championship.
