NCAA Dynasty Series: Letran Knights
Friday, 6 November 2009 3,026 Views / 92 Comments
Colegio de San Juan de Letran Knights, 1992, 1998 and 1999
Letran is still the winningest team in the oldest Collegiate League in the land. In the 90′s, they had three different coaches to lead them to three different championships including back to back titles, proof of a winning program plus the school’s dedication to winning.
Season 68
Letran Alum, former player and Head Coach Rudolph Hines captured the Season 68 title with a game 2 victory over San Sebastian, 94-85, with line up composed of Francis Arabit, Joven Banez, Eric Castillo, Gilbert Castillo, Carlito Espiritu, Gian Evidente, Paul Guerrero, Jovito Macatugal, Dennis Marcelo, James Milan, Efrain Soto, Wilmon Yu and Ronald Pena.
San Sebastian captured the 1st round. Letran got the 2nd round after winning its playoff encounter over the Golden Stags thus forcing a best of three finals series.
Letran won game 1, 98-91, without injured Rodney Santos in the line up for San Sebastian.
Season 74
Rookie Coach Louie Alas had Aldin Ayo, Marlon Bernal, Christian Calaguio, Edgar Lee, Anthony Lim, Jason Misolas, William Moody, Paul Moreno, Jose Pacheco, John Prior, Allan Salangsang, Marcelino Soriano, Orlan Tama, Erwin Velez and Kerby Raymundo. With a very promising young line up, Letran went 2-0 in the finals over San Sebastian and end its 5 year reign in the league.
Season 75
With Christian Calaguio no longer in the Knights line up, the team is practically intact to make another run for a back to back title. Letran’s status this season – 4th place in the standings, has never won a match against Perpetual Help and Jose Rizal College and they have to win twice over league leader San Sebastian.
The probability of making it, very slim. But Coach Binky Favis pulled off a squeaker by winning over the Heavy Bombers twice in the finals to capture the Season 75 title. Kerby Raymundo garnered Defensive player of the Year, a Mythical Five inclusion and MVP honors all in the same year.

Senor Mike, donde esta wille “el thriller” miller en su estoria? Espero miller es un meimbro de campeonatos del colegio en tarde nuventas. Ang hirap mag kastila.
Mr. Abasolo,
In the year 1999, before the start of the UAAP Season, the De La Salle Green Archers was invited to play in the Tournament of Champions mainly because they are the UAAP’s Defending Champions. In the said tournament, the reigning NCAA Champions, the Letran Knights, led by Kerby Raymundo and Chris Calagiuo, was also invited together with Univ. of Visayas Green Lancers, who are the Champions of the Visayan League CESAFI.
The De La Salle Green Archers won the Prestigious Tournament, but my question is, who did they beat in the Championship game? Was it the Knights of Letran?
“We are the men from old Letran
Ne’er dismayed on field or track,
Push on victory to the van
Rah! Rah! Letran! Anack!â€

How about the NCAA?
Mr. Mike,
How come you didn’t list down Willie Miller in the line-up? And what was his achievements with the Knights?
Arr1ba Letran!!!=]
we are number one AMOEBA LETRUN!!!!!!!
i miss the rivalry of letran with baste. rizal memorial is always filled with smoke from the firecrackers from both galleries, cheering and jeering each other and laslty a jampacked and sro venue as always. i remember back then when baste would start cheering their famous “poging baste” cheer ( one of the most intimidating war chant ever) letran on the other hand will answer with their own “palibasa letran”.
well it’s been years, i really miss those days. that’s the hardcore days of the ncaa & 1 of the best moments in local college basketball, name the place and the supporters will go.
BRAVO!!!!!
I hope this season 86, San Sebastian is the host team, it would be Baste-Letran in Araneta! Very nostalgic!! I really miss their Rivalry! Rekindle! Bravo BASTE! NO OTHER COLLEGE IN NCAA DOES THE WAY WE DO!
To all Letran Knights! yes yes, I miss the rivalry also! Especially the stigma of 2003 is still there. hehehe… Gusto ko makabawi naman ang San Sebastian sa Letran…
Arriba!
BRAVO!!!
@Bravo! Arriba!
Bok, your statement is a hanging sentence, “NO OTHER COLLEGE IN NCAA DOES THE WAY WE DO!”, your school does what? It begs the question. Hurry fill in the blanks…
Letran ka ba? Kaka-hiya hijo!
pag nabuhay ang rivalry magkakaaway tayo sa mga forum
@letran-baste,
ok lang naman, hanggang forum lang ang away wag lang sa venue… wag na ibalik ang gulo nuong 80′s. hehehe.. besides I have a very close friend from san beda and letran.
Arriba!
BRAVO!!!
@What a loser
Im not a letranite. But i’ll answer your question through a question also.. Who’s the only team who have 5-peat record in the NCAA?? Indeed, NO OTHER COLLEGE IN NCAA DOES IT THE WAY WE DO!!!! BRAVO!

@baho sa mendiola
yung mabaho na na-amoy mo galing sa pek pek ng nanay mo!
Pansinin nyo…pag pinasok ng beda ang forum laging nabababoy. Kahit saan…subukan nyo lang tignan kayo na humusga. Sa PeX, ncaa.org, inbound at kahit sa youtube.
Ang ganda ng exchange dito ng Letran and Baste tapos papasukan ng beda na kung umasta talagang ugaling galing sa tabi tabi. Walang ka-class class.
Basta beda walang Class at alam ng lahat.
Amoy estero ugaling estero dun sa Colegio de San Estero sa Mendiola.

@Bughawan
Pek pek ng nanay mo yung na-aamoy mo, yung parang estero, kick out ka kase. OSY ka ngayon
Pansinin nyo… si Bughawan nanghusga tapos siya naman ang nambaboy.
Ipokrito, no?
I see the posts of mal-educated bashers and it STILL
validates what we have been telling all along:
Only San Beda can make the NCAA Crown look good.
Sige, bashers. Be classless with your posts. Make alternicks. Be posers. Steal other poster’s nicks. Just don’t shut up.
HAAAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAHAAAAA!!!!!
ahihihihihi….

Yung poser ko, nilalabas yung kanyang tunay na pagkatao….
HAAAAAHAAAAHAAHAAAA!!!!!
Wala pa rin mabanat na matino sa
“Only San Beda Can Make an NCAA Crown Look Good.”
Ok lang. Hanggang diyan ka lang naman.
HAAAAAHAAAHAAAHAAA!!!!!!

One can tell the incompetent ones by the quality of their posts…
my poser is a fitting example.
HAAAAHAAAAHAAAHAA!!!!!
It’s so gratifying seeing nincompoops poop in their pants instead while feebly attempting to bash San Beda.
Diverting attention is such a pleasure and a bonus as well.
“Only San Beda Can Make an NCAA Crown Look Good.â€
Never rebutted, never will.
Ahihihihihihi….
@ simonsmug
what made your giant ego realized that “Only San Beda Can Make an NCAA Crown Look Good.� please state us your 10 finest reasons why you come up with this idea. please for the love of god enlighten us & make us laugh.
One reason is enough:
YOUR POST.
Want another? Any and all inane bashing posts. Why, I don’t even have to try hard. You guys are doing all the work.
HAAAHAAAAHAAAAHAAAA!!!!
Ego has nothing to do with this.
It’s just a fact that you bashers can’t accept, much less rebut. And it’s driving you all crazy.
And I couldn’t care less.
For me, only San Beda, Letran and San Sebastian makes the NCAA look good. Both Perpetual and St. Benilde SUCK!!
@Toti Mendiola
you and the reigning miss gay universe simonsmug are the ones who SUCK.
@ Victor Ignatius,
What?
The more you stupidly post, the more we look good.
Ad Infinitum.
HAAAHAAAAHAAAHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
I get great satisfaction seeing imbecile bashers crash and burn by their own futile efforts.
Keep at it, suckers.
HAAAAHAAAHAAHAAAAAA!!!!!
