Jeron Teng to play for La Salle

Highly-touted high school senior Jeron Teng will play for De La Salle University. After months of speculation, he announced via Twitter that he has chosen to suit up for the Green Archers next UAAP season. "Yup. DLSU," tweeted the younger Teng on Friday. Jeron is the son of PBA legend Alvin Teng. His older brother Jeric plays for the UST Growling Tigers. Hailing from Xavier School, he made headlines last year when he scored 108 points in a single game. While the La Salle faithful celebrated his arrival, fans of UST were disappointed that they would not see the two Tengs playing together. But Jeric said that this would bring some good old sibling rivalry in the Teng household. "It would be weird but a challenge playing against Jeron Teng next season of UAAP. Have to work hard this offseason!" tweeted Jeric. Because of Jeron's credentials, people have started talking about possible matchups for Teng including reigning Rookie of the Year Kiefer Ravena. However, Blue Eagle Ravena was quick to disspell any bad blood between them. @kiefferravena: "Its not jeron versus kiefer. Aint gonna happen.. The ateneo lasalle rivalry will never be shadowed by 2 individuals."   Teng has a 33-1 win-loss record in his three seasons playing for Xavier School at the Tiong Lian Basketball Tournament. In 2009, Xavier had an unblemmised 9-0 record with the younger Teng playing with his older brother, current UST guard Jeric Teng. In 2010, the Golden Stallions had another sweep, posting a 9-0 record. In 2011, the Golden Stallions posted a 15-1 record with Teng providing much of the scoring. a- Mav Gonzales/Renee Fopalan/OMG, GMA News
