CEBU CITY, Philippines — The Consolacion Sarok Weavers’ head coach Kareem Alocillo has now shifted his full attention to his volleyball and basketball programs after relinquishing his post with the team following their title run in the Pilipinas Super League (PSL) U21 Aspirants Division Cup last month in Zamboanga del Norte.
In a message posted on his social media account, Alocillo thanked everyone from the Sarok Weavers’ team for a “once in a lifetime opportunity,” given to him as head coach of the vaunted squad nthat ruled the regional tournament.
“First of all, I would like to say thank you to Boss Marky Marc (Marc Malazarte) for giving me this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Second, to all Consolacionanons for accepting me as your own, it has been great representing your beautiful town and all I can say is that I gave my all! Glad I was part of bringing your first national title. Third, to all the Coaching staff especially to my mentor, Coach Paul Alelu Flores for the guidance, Players and Utilities for trusting me, the memories we shared was (sic) beyond basketball,” said Alocillo.
He will be succeeded by one of the team consultants Lee Mhar Dahil as the new head coach of the Sarok Weavers.
