In a team of relatively young players, Jovielyn Prado has been consistently leading the Tacloban Fighting Warays.
The NCAA Season 92 Finals Most Valuable Player is averaging 13.3 point per match, topping all Fighting Warays, who are sitting at 2-1 to start the PVL Open Conference.
And it’s not just in scoring – Prado has been showing off her all-around game, recording 10 digs twice in their first three outings.
Following an 18-point, 10-dig outing against the Akari-Adamson Lady Falcons, Prado shared that her leadership role was born from need.
“Siguro sa sarili ko ‘yun na lang din ‘yung ibibigay ko. Kasi sa akin din po sila umaasa na ako po ‘yung team captain nila,” said the Arellano University standout.
“Kumbaga pag nawala ako, wala pa silang titignan na magli-lead.”
Now, the Fighting Warays have dropped to a lowly standing in the Reinforced Conference. Prado wants to change their fortunes this time around.
“Ako po personally ‘yung goal ko is maiangat ‘yung ranking ng team namin kasi nung nakaraan nasa huli kami.”
