AFTER missing Arellano’s Season 94 campaign due to an ACL tear in his right knee, Kent Salado is making up for lost time in the NCAA Season 95 Seniors’ Basketball Tournament.
With his squad down seven in the final frame against Perpetual, Salado put the Chiefs on his back and carried them to a gutsy win.
The 5-foot-8 playmaker wound up with 18 points, 12 assists, four steals, three rebounds as the Chiefs arrested a three-game losing streak.
For the solid performance, Salado was voted Chooks-to-Go Collegiate Press Corps NCAA Player of the Week award.
Salado was picked over Noah Lugo of Mapua, James Canlas of San Beda and Jaycee Marcelino of Lyceum for the weekly recognition given by print and online scribes covering the country’s oldest collegiate league.
“Sinasabihan ko lang yung teammates ko na kaya pa naman natin kasi kaya nga natin yung malalakas, humahabol nga tayo. Wag lang dapat kami mawalan ng gana,” said the Cagayan de Oro native about 3-9 Arellano's playoff hopes.
