Following the footstep of his older brother, a Negrense cager is set to show off his skills in Manila.

Karl Nonoy, a native of La Carlota City, Negros Occidental will join the De La Salle University (DLSU) Green Archers. He will play with his brother Mark Nonoy.

Playing forward, Karl is set to formalize his commitment with the Green Archers in a meeting with DLSU team booster Manases Carpio. The former pride of Hua Siong College of Iloilo Red Phoenix revealed it’s always his dream to play in Manila just like his brother.

During his interview with Watchmen Daily Journal, Karl said he’s thankful because he was given an opportunity to play in a prestigious school like De La Salle University. “I know there’s still a lot of work to do for me and I will do my best to improve my game further,” he said.

Meanwhile, Hua Siong head coach Vincent Conlu said that he is very proud that Karl also got an opportunity to showcase his talents in Manila and in DLSU like his elder brother Mark, who is also his former player at Hua Siong.

“Ang goal ko sa mga players ko, na they can fulfill their dreams to play in Manila. Worth it ‘yung pagod sa training. My only wish for him is to stay humble para maabot niya ‘yung goal niya na maging professional player in the future,” he added.

Karl will play for two more years with La Salle Greenhills Greenies in NCAA juniors basketball before he transitions as a member of the Green Archers.IMT Sports
