Three years of fighting hard. Four school years of reaping diligently. At last, the fruit sown is the sweetest.
The College of Education Red Cardinals have reclaimed that their wings are built for victory as they soared high to claim the Overall Championship of Sidlak Intramurals 2025 at the Notre Dame of Midsayap College. With a blazing 116.2 golds, they outflown the College of Business and Accountancy Golden Eagles from their three-year reign.
This is not just a win—this is a legacy. After reclaiming the trophy back in 2022, the College of Education has kept its talons clenched firmly on the top spot. There were heartbreaks—just last Sidlak 2023-2024, the college was only one gold away from the championship. There were ghosts—memories of missed chances and near-victories that haunted them.
But the College of Education never lost without a fight. For years, they dominated socio-sports and socio-cultural events, and most notably, they remained undefeated in socio-academics, proving that CEducators are academically excellent and versatile.
Yet the road to this year’s championship was far from smooth. As Sidlak 2025 kicked off, the Red Cardinals faced a heavy blow: a 15-point deduction from the very first event, the Sidlakan Mass Dance—taking their first solid golds away from them.
It was as if the bird had been struck mid-flight—its wings clipped, its body plummeting toward the ground. For a moment, the sky seemed empty. Spirits dipped. Whispers of doubt fluttered through the Fr. Robert Sullivan Building. But then, just when it seemed they might crash, the Red Cardinals spread their vermillion wings, shook off the dust, and surged upward—stronger, fiercer, unstoppable.
What followed was nothing short of inspiring. The whole campus thundered with cheers as the cardinals rallied together, turning every game, every public speaking and academic events, every cultural performance into a declaration:
𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘬𝘺, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭.
The rocky start became a fiery flight to the top, with the Cardinals clawing their way back in every event they joined.
The Red Cardinal, after all, is no ordinary bird. It is fierce yet graceful, small yet powerful, and once it takes to the sky, it refuses to descend until it has conquered the horizon.
In the end, their victory was celebrated not just by the college but by the entire NDMC community, whose cheers filled the gym with deafening echo of victory. The Red Cardinals did not just win the trophy—they earned respect and admiration for their resilience.
From the struggles, the near-misses, and the relentless flying back to the top, one truth becomes clear: the College of Education stands as the Pillar of Resilience and Excellence. Year after year, challenge after challenge, they continue to rise above.
This is not just a championship.
This is CEdpremacy—loud, proud, and unstoppable.
