Representing Quezon City, the Ateneo de Manila High School baseball team defeated opponents from Pasig, Makati, Manila, Parañaque, Marikina, and Muntinlupa to emerge as champions of the NCR baseball meet last February 9, 2016. As such, they will represent the NCR at Palarong Pambansa 2016 to be held in Albay this summer. Three members of the QC Baseball Team were also recognized with awards for individual achievement following the championship game. Manu Guzman (10-G) was given the award for Most Stolen Bases (a feat he was recognized for in the UAAP Season 78 championship a week earlier), while Raph Roque (11-O) received the Best Catcher award. Last but not least, newly-minted UAAP Season 78 juniors baseball MVP Miggy Angeles (12-K) was given the NCR meet’s Best Pitcher award.From left: Miggy Angeles (Best Pitcher) of 12K, Manu Guzman (Most Stolen Bases) of 10G, and Raphael Roque (Best Catcher) of 11-O
