Depth saved Petro Gazz from grueling schedule


Due to the circumstances of their competitors, the Petro Gazz Angels have had to play in each of the PVL Open Conference first five playdates.

After a rough 1-2 start, the Angels won their next two games back-to-back, including a five-set win over the heavily-favored Creamline Cool Smashers.

“Swerte siguro kami na kahit papaano nakakakapit tayo sa mga game. Pero siyempre training pa rin and pahinga nang kaunti,” said Angels head coach Jerry Yee about the rough stretch.

Luckily for Yee, he has a deep team. In each of their five games, Petro Gazz have fielded all of their players and have pulled contributions from different players.

“Hugot tayo nang hugot nang players and gagamitin natin kung sino ‘yung nandiyan. Swerte tayo na meron tayong mga pwedeng hugutin and pwede nating ibalik ‘yung mga nilabas. ‘Yun naman ang ginawa natin and, kahit papaano, na-outlast natin sila,” added Yee.

Yee gleefully pointed out that, although none of his players stand out statistically, his entire team is ready to contribute at a moment’s notice.

“Kumbaga, bundle tayo eh. We are given copies of the stats din. Wala nga kaming mga players na nasa top. So tulong-tulong kami. Wala naman tayong outstanding na one player na kumpleto.”

The Angels get their first taste of respite this week. The break will come in handy when they face the young and energetic Ateneo-Motolite Lady Eagles on Saturday.

“Rest talaga kami tomorrow, then pukpok again on Tuesday. Siguro, ganoon naman talaga na kailangan timplahin based sa energy level ng team,” Yee concluded.

“Sana ‘yung mala-Creamline na game (ang laruin namin) kasi Ateneo brings the crowd and excitement. Sa sana ‘yung composure and energy natin nandiyan.”
