The JRU Heavy Bombers and Lady Bombers are the National Collegiate Athletic Association varsity teams of the Jose Rizal University.

The university's juniors team are the JRU Light Bombers.

The Heavy Bombers basketball team also plays in the PBA Developmental League.

Name

[edit]

The José Rizal University got its moniker from the abundance of World War II vintage bombs in their campus. The JRU campus, like many others, was turned into a garrison by the Japanese army. This led to many vintage bombs mined beneath the campus, which led to the heavy bombers moniker. The Seniors (collegiate) team adopted the Heavy Bomber, while the Juniors (high school) team adopted the Amazing Light Bombers.

Scoring record

[edit]
  • Points - Keith Agovida 82 Points
  • Assists - Cris Angelo Espinosa 21 Assists
  • Rebounds - Joel Finuliar 14 Rebounds
  • Steals - Cris Angelo Espinosa 16 Steals

On October 5, 2002, high school basketball player Cris Angelo Espinosa made an all-time record of 21 assists and 16 steals against San Beda Red Cubs making an All-Time Record in NCAA Junior's Division (a record almost beaten by a san Sebastian staglet in Season 92).

On September 5, 2008, high school basketball player Keith Agovida scored 82 points to break the scoring record held by Erwin Bolabola by the Letran Squires in a 127-49 trashing of Malayan Science.[1][2]
