The badminton court experienced what can best be described as a bloodbath through a Badminton showdown on September 14, 2025 at STS Tabuk where the four houses entered into a contest of nerve-racking matches.

In the boys’ singles Bracket A, Lance Dagohoy of Gryffindor set the tone early, blanking Slytherin with a merciless 21–0 opener in the early rounds before going on to dismantle Ravenclaw within no time, playing like a surgeon and sealing the match in straight games, 21–18, 21–16, 21–5.

Bracket B was no different: Adrian Baguiyon of Gryffindor ran through Hufflepuff, 21-15, 21-11, 21-12, proving their worth across every inch of the court, from baseline to net. Then came the game of doubles, which nearly stole the spotlight and gave Ravenclaw an upset opportunity. The gym was rattling, point for point, in that first game, with Gryffindor poised and plucking the nail-biter at 21-20 and cruising to a second game win, 21-10. A statement sweep, emphasizing total dominance from Gryffindor in the boys' division.

The girls' matches did bring Hufflepuff and Slytherin into focus. In Bracket A, Zhamira Pannogan of Hufflepuff rolled to a gritty 21-16 win in the opener, whereas Slytherin retaliated after regrouping and stormed back, overtaking momentum with twin victories of 21-9 and 21-13 to complete the comeback.

In Bracket B, Shamcey Bommogas of Hufflepuff made merry and swept Ravenclaw with back-to-back set wins, 21-15, 21-17, with a scintillating net attack supported by grueling rallies. Slytherin unleashed their artillery in the doubles bout. Against Gryffindor, they simply swept through with a 21-10, 21-19, 21-17 whitewash, filled with smashes and tight defense which crushed their opponent's hopes of a comeback.

Every rally had its own story-whether it was Gryffindor's fiery shutouts, Hufflepuff's will to survive, Ravenclaw almost bringing them down, or the Slytherin masterclass in doubles. With every smash, the cheers grew louder; with every near miss, the gasps got sharper. The finals became far more than just a scoreboard filled with instances of 21s against teens. It was an arena displaying heart, hustle, and house pride.

In the Girls’ Division, Ravenclaw's soaring wings took flight. In Bracket A , Azumae Patongao led her team with tactical placement and controlled spins, using deceptive topspin serves and consistent returns to wear down her opponents point by point. Calm yet commanding, she lifted her House to the top, proving herself a true eagle on the rise.

In Bracket B, Gryffindor’s Meryl Palugao rose as the team’s ace, unleashing powerful smash attacks that kept her opponents on the defensive. She countered with solid backhand blocks and maintained control during extended rallies, showcasing her composure under pressure. With a decisive forehand drive, Palugao sealed the victory, thrusting the lions to a crucial win in the division.

During the Doubles Division, Gryffindor’s male team displayed flawless coordination, striking with sharp forehand drives that left their opponents struggling to recover. Their quick rally responses and firm blocks turned defense into offense, sealing the championship with confidence.

Meanwhile, Ravenclaw’s pair, Azumae Patongao and Charie Libunao, combined precise spin serves with steady backhand counters to control the pace of the match. With a final roaring smash, the ravens soared to victory, proving that a team's triumph comes from trust and rhythm.

Mula Setyembre 11, 13, at 14, 2025, matinding bakbakan ang nasaksihan sa larong Sepak Takraw kung saan apat na koponan mula sa Hogwarts ang nagpasiklaban: Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, at Slytherin. Sa tatlong araw na sagupaan, ipinakita ng bawat koponan ang kanilang galing, ngunit sa huli, iisang pangalan ang umangat bilang kampeon—ang Slytherin.

Sa umpisa ng laro ng Ravenclaw at Hufflepuff mainit pa sa singaw ng bola ang torneo. Hindi man umabot sa aktwal na kick-off ang laban, nakapuntos ng Default Win ang Ravenclaw matapos hindi nakumpleto ng Hufflepuff ang kanilang line-up.

Sa ikalawang laro, naglaban ang Slytherin at Gryffindor. Mainit agad ang aksyon kung saan halos magtabla sa puntos ang dalawang koponan. Subalit dahil sa sunod-sunod na palya sa pagtanggap ng Slytherin, nakalamang ang Gryffindor at tinapos ang unang set sa 21-19. Sa ikalawang set, mas lalong lumakas ang depensa ng Gryffindor matapos nilang putulin ang mainit na rally sa pagitan nila ng Slytherin, dahilan upang mabilis silang makapuntos at makuha ang panalo sa 21-15.

Sa ikatlong laro, naging thriller match ang sagupaan ng Ravenclaw at Gryffindor. Sa unang set, pinatumba ng Gryffindor ang Ravenclaw, 21-10, gamit ang kanilang mabangis na spike at matitibay na block. Ngunit sa ikalawang set, hindi nagpatalo ang Ravenclaw. Sa likod ng kanilang mabilis na set-up plays at matatag na tanggap sa takraw, naisakatuparan nila ang matinding pagbabalikwas at nakamit ang panalo, 21-19.

Pagsapit ng ikatlong set, lalong tumindi ang tensyon kung saan kapwa koponan ay nagpakawala ng matutulin na spike at humaba ang rally hanggang umabot sa 12- 12 ang puntos. Sa huling tatlong bola, nakalusot ang Ravenclaw ng sunod-sunod na atake upang isara ang laban, 15-12, at magtala ng matagumpay na pagbangon.

Sa laban ng mga koponang natalo, muling bumangon ang Slytherin. Sa unang set, dikit ang labanan at umabot pa sa 20-20 ang puntos, ngunit sa huli ay nagpakawala sila ng matinding spike upang selyuhan ang set, 22-20. Pagsapit ng ikalawang yugto, naging dominante na ang Slytherin matapos pagsamahin ang kanilang mababangis na spike at matitibay na block, dahilan upang tuldukan ang laro sa 21-15.

Sa ikalimang laro, muling nagharap ang Slytherin at Gryffindor, ngunit ibang Slytherin na ang humarap sa entablado. Sa unang yugto, pinigilan nila ang bawat bagsak-sipa ng Gryffindor at mabilis na kumamada ng panalo, 15-11. Pagsapit ng ikalawang yugto, halos magtabla ang puntos hanggang dulo at umalingawngaw ang hiyawan ng mga manonood nang umabot sa 14-12. Subalit, isang malupit na drop ball ang nagselyo ng tagumpay ng Slytherin, 15-12, upang tuluyang tapusin ang laban.

Bitbit ang twice-to-beat advantage, matatag na pumasok ang Ravenclaw sa finals, ngunit agad silang ginulat ng Slytherin sa unang laro matapos dominahin ang dalawang yugto, 21-12 at 21-19. Isang palya sa laro ng Ravenclaw ang nagsilbing huling pako sa kanilang pagkatalo.

Sa ikalawang Championship Game, lalo pang lumakas ang Slytherin; sa likod ng kanilang matitibay na depensa at sunod-sunod na spike, tuluyan nilang tinuldukan ang laban matapos selyuhan ang iskor na 21-13 at 21-18 sa pamamagitan ng heading attack ni Rodrigo, isa sa tatlong manlalaro, na nagsilbing panapos na tira upang tuluyang masungkit ng Slytherin ang korona.

Final Standings:
🥇Champion – House Slytherin
🥈1st Runner-up – House Ravenclaw
🥉2nd Runner-up – House Gryffindor
🏅 3rd Runner-up – House Hufflepuff

On board 3, on the other hand saw the heated game between the boards 1 and 2, Adrian Rosales from Hufflepuff, known for their determination and sportsmanship, tried to twist and turn the game, determined to rally in the upcoming matches, gave their best as their teammates failed to gain a spot in the championship of the other boards, but because his opponents from House Gryffindor and House Slytherin failed to arrive within the 5 minute waiting time, the game was eventually referred to as default and no one advanced to fought Mr. Rosales gaining him a non match win.

Chessboards flared with tension as Saint Theresita's School of Tabuk kick-started Intramurals 2025. Proving that Theresians not only flourished on the concrete courts, Chess players from the four Houses leaned in, eyes sharp, as they drew strategies for a medal-sn**ching win.

The tournament began on September 11, 2025. The opening round set the tone: Ravenclaw dominated the boards, sinking their talons into the spot of Champion early, while Slytherin stood their ground at 1st runner-up. Hufflepuff fought hard for 2nd, leaving Gryffindor at 3rd.

But Gryffindor, unsatisfied, wasn’t about to wallow at the bottom. In the second round, the red-streaked lions bounced back, overtaking Hufflepuff for 2nd runner-up. The unshakeable Ravenclaw kept their momentum, staying undefeated at Champion, while Slytherin steadily ran 1st runner-up.

The finals on September 13 were nothing short of a nail-biter. All four Houses brought their A-game, but the leaderboard stayed locked: Ravenclaw, true to their reputation for wit and strategy, claimed the shining Championship title; Slytherin stood firm at 1st runner-up; Gryffindor sealed 2nd runner-up; and Hufflepuff moved back down to 3rd.

In this battle of brains, strategy and focus had been the game-winning key. Just like on the courts and on the fields, it takes discipline and mental stamina to keep up and come out on top.
