The University of Perpetual Help System DALTA (UPHSD) will be fielding a relatively young squad for the NCAA Season 97 that opens on Saturday and they will be under a newly-tapped tactician.
Minus their old stalwarts like big man Ben Adamos and Edgar Charcos, the Perpetual Help Altas will be bannered by returning players led by Kim Aurin, Jielo Razon, and Jef Egan. Also choosing to stay in Perpetual are Jasper Cuevas, Lean Martel, and Nathaniel Sevilla.
The rest of the squad, meanwhile, will be composed of rookies.
Tipped to help carry the offensive load for the Myk Saguiguit-mentored squad is former Letran high school star in 6-foot-5 Mark Omega along with fellow former junior standouts in Joey Barcuma, Yukihiro Kawamura, and Jearico Nuñez.
Completing this year's roster are John Cedrick Abis, John Paul Boral, Carlo Ferreras, Richard Movida, and Christian Pagaran.
The NCAA Season 97 live games air every Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday to Sunday at 12:00 NN on GTV with replays every Monday and Thursday at 3:00 PM on GTV.
