Basketball Team
Blazing Dragons is also the name used by the Chiang Kai Shek College Scout Basketball Team that emerged champions since 2006 to present (6 years and still going) in the annual Baden Powell Cup Basketball Tournament organized among Chinese-Filipino and other guest schools in Metro Manila, the Philippines. It is known as the only legitimate basketball team in the world organized based on the ideals of Scouting where players are guided by the Scout Oath and Law. It is highly competitive in many inter-high school leagues in the Philippines, particularly in the National Capital Region.

Famous quotes containing the words basketball and/or team:
“Perhaps basketball and poetry have just a few things in common, but the most important is the possibility of transcendence. The opposite is labor. In writing, every writer knows when he or she is laboring to achieve an effect. You want to get from here to there, but find yourself willing it, forcing it. The equivalent in basketball is aiming your shot, a kind of strained and usually ineffective purposefulness. What you want is to be in some kind of flow, each next moment a discovery.”
—Stephen Dunn (b. 1939)
“Romeo. I dreamt a dream tonight.
Mercutio. And so did I.
Romeo. Well, what was yours?
Mercutio. That dreamers often lie.
Romeo. In bed asleep, while they do dream things true.
Mercutio. O then I see Queen Mab hath been with you.
She is the fairies’ midwife, and she comes
In shape no bigger than an agate stone
On the forefinger of an alderman,
Drawn with a team of little atomi
Over men’s noses as they lie asleep.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
