San Beda demolished Letran for Back to Back Title

OOZING with confidence and a remarkable winning attitude in Game 2, the San Beda Red Lions has duplicated a feat they did in 1977 and 1978 – another back-to-back titles.

San Beda College, as expected, took charge in the early part and never looked back en route to a 76-64 demolition of Letran College to retain its crown last September 26, 2007 in the 83rd NCAA men’s basketball tournament at the Araneta Coliseum.

Pro-bound Yousif Aljamal started on fire in the first half and third year Rogemar Menor did the finishing touches in the final two quarters to give the Red Lions 13 crowns since joining the country’s oldest collegiate league in 1924. Read More

Game 1: The Victory of the Red Lions

San Beda College went alive in the fourth quarter to defeat Colegio de San Juan de Letran and take the first game of the NCAA seniors basketball finals, 76-68, at the Araneta Coliseum on September 19. The Knights settled for freethrows for four minutes of the payoff quarter as SBC released a 10-4 run ending with a Sam Ekwe follow off Ogie Menor’s missed lay, 72-61, :50 left in the game. This was also the biggest lead of the game which featured 11 deadlocks and eight lead changes. Read More

Animo San Beda

Animo is the Spanish expression for courage.

The Spanish word animo also means spirit, energy, vitality, purpose and will. Thus, the Bedan Animo also means the Bedan Spirit. However, as an idiom and cheer, we Bedans use animo to mean COURAGE just like any other Spanish speaking society. When we Bedans yell "Animo San Beda!" we actually mean "Courage San Beda!" We also used Viva (long live) and Arriba (hurrah for ...) in the old Spanish cheer. Avance San Beda! was also used before. Even in our traditional English cheer, Stand on the Grandstand, animo is extensively used. From our Stand on the Grandstand cheer came the very popular "Animo ______ Beat ________" line which other schools adopted, but just a stand alone cheer.

San Beda College has been historically using "Animo" more frequently than any other school in the country. We Bedans distinguish ourselves from the pack for we historically and consciously know that Animo, when used to cheer, means courage.
