Soft-spoken and gentle giant Woodward John Co once roamed the halls of Xavier School as its franchise player for its various Basketball Leagues. Co capped his senior year in Xavier by leading it to a 9-0 sweep of the 2006 Tiong Lian Championships and capturing MVP honors in the process. Co also scored a tournament-high 53 points in a game against UNO.
The prodigious Markwin Tee ‘02 is once again rewriting the annals of Xavier School’s sports history as he once again claims the limelight for his feat in the recently concluded 2006 Bowling World Cup national finals. Tee thus booked himself a ticket to the Qubica-AMF Bowling World Cup international finals on November 4-10 in Caracas, Venezuela. Tee now has the opportunity to join local sports heroes Paeng Nepumuceno and CJ Suarez as Filipino winners of the said tourney! Luceat Lux!
