LOOKBACK: DE LA SALLE UNIVERSITY
The De La Salle Green Archers were a founding member of the NCAA Philippines in 1924. La Salle participated in the league for 57 years winning 5 NCAA General Championships in the process (1972, 1974, 1976, 1977, and 1980). The high school (Juniors' division) counterpart was the De La Salle Greenies until 1968 when De La Salle High School in Manila was dissolved. The Greenies had won 2 General Championships. La Salle Green Hills (LSGH) was established in 1959 and was eventually made the high school counterpart of De La Salle. It inherited the moniker Greenies and eventually became known as the Junior Archers. LSGH won 8 General Championships until 1980 when La Salle withdrew from the NCAA.
