FLASHBACK 2019

The year 2019 was LSPAA's 25th year anniversary.  The year kicked off with Berde Buena Mano, the LSPAA 2019 New Year's Party at the Lorton Station Community Center on January 5, 2019.  It was a fun, whole day event, from the 10 AM prep group to the 10 PM clean-up crew, with a live band, food, games, raffle, singing and dancing in between!

 2019-06-29 VOLLEYBALL - The La Salle-Ateneo Sportsfest.  It was the hottest day so far in 2019 at almost 100 degrees, but not hot enough to match the exciting volleyball and basketball matches at the air-conditioned St. John the Beloved's Gym in McClean.  It was a glorious day for La Salle since, for the first time in the La Salle-Ateneo Washington DC sportsfest history, La Salle emerged as the new Champion in Volleyball!  HOORAY Volleyball Team!  After the review of the video footages, the team captain, the coaches, the players and spectators unanimously voted for Corky de Asis as the most valuable player!  His powerful and notably unresponded service points that brought the score to 12-0 at the deciding 3rd game clinched the La Salle victory that early!  Congratulations to Corky and all the players!

      • Most Valuable Player - Corky de Asis - La Salle
      • Champion Team - La Salle



2019-06-29 BASKETBALL - The La Salle-Ateneo Sportsfest.  On the basketball front, we congratulate the Ateneo Basketball Team for bagging the championship trophy!  Our gallant La Salle players gave Ateneo a good fight and heightened the thrills when the La Salle 3-pointers rallied to close the gap.  While the championship trophy has eluded our team this time, the fire to prepare for the next tournament has been ignited!

Basketball awards:
      • Most valuable player - Rob Roa - Ateneo
      • Champion Team - Ateneo



2019-06-29 The LSPAA-Ateneo Picnic and Sportsfest Awarding - Burke Lake Park.  It was a hot, sweltering day, but the camaraderie and sportsmanship between the two alumni groups provided coolness to the summer heat!



2019-12-14 Pasko Berde - Home for Christmas in Springfield - It was a socks party night at Elmer and Leony Rosario's residence, jamming to the beat of the band which did not have a name yet!  It culminated a whole year celebration of LSPAA's 25th year anniversary.
