Will he stick it out in their Katipunan nest or land somewhere else?
Eventually, Chris Urbina would decide on this, with college scouts/recruiters hovering around as the Blue Eaglets skipper is nearing the end of his high school days at Ateneo.
The consensus among observers is wherever he chooses to take his talents, Urbina is ready to compete and ready to write the next chapter in a storied family legacy.
Urbina’s resume speaks for itself. As the Ateneo HS Boys’ team captain for UAAP Season 87, he not only led vocally but backed it up statistically, ranking as one of the league’s assist leaders with six dishes per game, while also emerging as Ateneo’s leading scorer with 14 points a game.
But Urbina is more than numbers. “He’s our coach on the court,” says Ateneo HS Boys head coach Ford Arao. “The decisions he makes in real-time – his adjustments, his maturity – you don’t often see that from a high school player.”
Outside the 5-on-5 arena, Urbina also shone in the UAAP 3x3 tournament, leading Ateneo’s High School Boys to a Final Four appearance before bowing down to Adamson in a battle for third place.
Off the stat sheet, Urbina’s roots run deep. He comes from a lineage of Filipino sports legends – his great-grandfather Frank Jison, Sr. was an Ateneo basketball champion who played alongside Ambrosio Padilla; another great-grandfather Alejandro Seno starred in the University of San Carlos in Cebu; and his grandfather Gerry Urbina Sr. was a two-sport standout in La Salle’s NCAA heyday.
