As the Red Boosters prepare for the opening of the football games in the 94 th season of
the NCAA, they are banking on Ang Liga as their pre-season fight to apply all our knowledge
and techniques for their main season.

“Me and my team's purpose is not about the trophies, fame or medals to name ourselves
"a champion". Being on the field itself and being a representative of San Beda football team
made ourselves a champion.” Red Boosters team captain Paulo Javier said in an interview.

He said that having discipline, focus, hard work, and good teamwork makes you a
winning team. “What the Red Booters have is good companionship, humbleness and putting our
hearts in every game.”
 When asked who their biggest competition would be he answered “For me, all
competing teams is the toughest team in the Ang Liga tournament "may kasabihan nga sila na
bilog ang bola" so for me all our opponents are the biggest team. The toughest thing you'll be
facing is your fear itself and lack of preparation for the game”
