Hartmann is the longest serving Sparks player on this squad. Loaded with
veteran national players and solid foreigners. Improved defense.

I’ve said
this before, wish they’d drop the La Salle tag. This is not a La Salle Bacolod
team anymore. The only one with green roots is Arnie Pasinabo and J. Baguioro.
Hasn’t been for a while now. It’s as faux as the Sparks and its Loyola tag or
Green Archers United. It’s a pro team with its transplanted Global and Kaya
players and national team vets. But it is solid. And it’s always a treat to
watch Louie Casas back at goal.
J Baguioro
is the only one in their starting lineup that came up from their champion U-23
team.
There’s a
possibility these two teams will clash again in the finals. Looking forward to
that match up.
