The Ateneo de Davao University High School boys' basketball team, known as the Blue Knights, has secured the championship title in the Davao City Athletic Association (DCAA) Meet for School Year 2025-2026. In a decisive victory on November 17, 2025, the Unit 6-Dacs squad demonstrated exceptional skill and composure throughout the championship game.
Championship Game Highlights
The Blue Knights delivered a masterful performance against a determined Rizal Memorial Colleges (Unit 5-PRISAA) team, ultimately securing a 72-59 victory. The championship match showcased everything fans hope to see in a title game - fast-paced action, precise execution, and intense competitive spirit from both teams.
This championship victory represents more than just a single outstanding performance.

Ateneo de Davao's basketball program continues to develop players not only as athletes but as well-rounded students and emerging leaders who embody discipline and responsibility.
Celebrating Davao's Youth Sports Community
While the Blue Knights celebrate their hard-earned championship, recognition also belongs to all participating schools in this year's DCAA Meet. Across various sports venues - from basketball courts to track fields and gym floors - young athletes represented their schools and communities with pride and determination.
The timing of this championship coincides meaningfully with International Children's Day, serving as a powerful reminder of the positive impact of youth sports. These programs help build confidence, strengthen friendships, and teach essential values like fairness and respect. Every young person deserves access to safe environments where they can compete, learn, and grow.
To the Blue Knights champions: savor this well-deserved moment. Championships are earned through sweat, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment. Beyond the medals and trophies, may the lessons of teamwork, humility, and discipline remain with you long after the celebration ends.
The future of Mindanao basketball appears increasingly promising, and currently, that future shines brightly in Ateneo de Davao's blue and white colors.
