With Kevin Quiambao leading the way, Goyang Sono clinched a historic playoff berth in the KBL.
The Skygunners currently sit fifth in the league with a 28-25 record, with just one game remaining — a remarkable nine-game improvement from last season. This marks the first time in franchise history that Goyang Sono has reached the postseason.
“I’m super happy and blessed na maka-receive ng ganitong opportunity, especially for me na bago pa lang sa professional basketball,” Quiambao told Tiebreaker Times.
“It means a lot to me, pero a lot of work to be done pa.”
In his sophomore season, Quiambao is averaging 15.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.1 steals per game.
Nathan Knight leads the Skygunners in scoring with 18.0 points and 11.4 rebounds per contest, while Lee Junghyun is averaging 18.6 points and 5.2 assists per game.
If things stay on course, Goyang Sono is likely to face Ethan Alvano and Wonju DB in the quarterfinals.
But for Quiambao, making the playoffs is only the beginning.
“My goal, siyempre, is to win the championship, pero alam kong madaming pagdadaanan at pagsubok bago makuha ’yon,” he said.
“I just want to cherish this moment and focus on the present, one game at a time.”
