AS if La Salle isn’t dangerous enough with Kevin Quiambao and Michael Phillips, coach Topex Robinson continues to unveil more weapons in his arsenal in Taft.
On Sunday against University of Santo Tomas, it was Vhoris Marasigan who was let out of his cage.

The pride of San Antonio, Quezon was given the green light to attack the Growling Tigers' frontline - and he did that relentlessly, hustling his way to 11 points, two rebounds, and one steal.
“Sabi lang sa akin ni coach na atakihin ko lang nang atakihin kasi walang makakapigil sa akin,” said the hefty 6-foot-2 winger.
Robinson admitted giving the instructions, but clarified that it’s just a testament to his belief on the former University of the East Junior Warrior.
"I guess Vhoris is one guy that everybody loves on our team because he just brings so much energy and enthusiasm and gets us excited,” said the champion mentor.
“He kind of fits in to what we wanted to achieve [against UST]. We know that he's a force to reckon with his power, so we just gave him the opportunity. And for a kid like him who's really just enjoying it, it's just fun to watch that kid and just his promise.”
Nothing boring with Vhoris
But it’s not just Robinson who has full faith in Marasigan.
Even Quiambao and Phillips have that confidence in him which has tremendously helped in boosting the sophomore’s confidence to contribute for the defending champions.
“'Pag kasabay ko sila KQ at Mike, binibigyan nila ako ng kumpyansa para gawin lang yung role ko. Kaya sobrang saya ko lang na napapakita ko yung ginagawa ko sa practice every time na pinapasok ako ni coach Topex at nagagawa ko yung role ko sa team,” he said.
