Jeron Teng

At that point, no player had ever scored at least 100 points since Felix Duhig of the Cebu Institute of Technology hit the mark during a 1990 game in what is now the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation, Inc.

Teng would suit up for the De La Salle Green Archers in the UAAP where he would instantly become the face of the Archers.

He led the Archers through their chase to return to the Final Four.

In a win over the NU Bulldogs, he matched Bobby Ray Parks' 35 points with his own 35 points, six rebounds, and two assists.

In their second round encounter against his older brother Jeric's team the UST Growling Tigers, Teng would nail the game winner over one time RP-Youth teammate Kevin Ferrer, as the Archers avenged their first round defeat against the Tigers with a 53–51 win.

Teng would lead the Archers back to the Final Four after missing out the previous season which included winning a knock-out game for the last slot against the FEU Tamaraws.

However, the Archers led by Teng's magic run would be stopped when they lost to one of their notable sports rivals and eventual champions, the far more seasoned Ateneo Blue Eagles.

Jeron Alvin Uy Teng (born March 21, 1994) is a Filipino professional basketball player for the San Miguel Beermen of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).

As a PBA player, he usually starts at the swingman position but occasionally plays as a power forward during the Philippine Cup.

A renowned prodigy, he holds multiple high school records for the Xavier Golden Stallions.

After his famous high school career, he played for the De La Salle Green Archers in the UAAP with equally great success.

He won a couple UAAP championships as the team captain and has the rare distinction of simultaneously winning two UAAP finals MVP awards.

He was born on March 21, 1994, in Mandaluyong to Alvin and Susan Teng.

Jeron is the youngest among four siblings: Alyssa, Jeric, and Almira in that order.

His father, Alvin Teng, is a former player in the Philippine Basketball Association who won multiple titles as a member of the San Miguel Beermen.

His older brother Jeric, was a former collegiate basketball star who played for the UST Growling Tigers.

Jeric would later win a PBA championship playing the two guard for the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters.

His sister Almira, on the other hand, pursued a non-athletic career in show business as a professional model and artist.

Teng was always very religious growing up and frequented the Pink Sisters Convent to pray and celebrate Mass.

As a young child, Jeron gained serious interest in basketball after his older brother Jeric encouraged him to join the Xavier basketball team when he was in third grade.

Teng eventually won his first of many titles that year in the Metro Manila Tiong Lian Basketball Association (MMTLBA), one of the premier elementary and high school basketball leagues in the nation.

The Teng brothers were frequently tutored by the power forward Alvin, who recommended that they instead develop skills associated with the guard position.

The move would later prove to be crucial for the development of the two future PBA players.

Like his older brother Jeric, Jeron played high school basketball for Xavier School.

He led the Golden Stallions to two MMTLBA championships and won for himself the season MVP award in his three seasons with the team.

The Tigers won Game 1 of the UAAP Finals, but Teng led the Archers to the championship by dominating the next two games of the series to defeat the Tigers and give the Archers their first UAAP title since 2007.

The Archers would defeat the Tamaraws again to advance to the UAAP Finals for the first time since 2008.

Teng displayed brilliance by severely outplaying the then-reigning MVP Terrence Romeo of the Tamaraws.

There they faced one of their famed rivals the UST Growling Tigers as Jeron battled the team of his older brother Jeric.

Teng would later be named UAAP Rookie of the Year, achieving the same feat his older brother Jeric had done in 2009.

In addition to that, he would also be simultaneously named to the Mythical Five, a rare feat in collegiate basketball.

Teng finished his rookie season with averages of 15.8 points per game, 6.6 rebounds per game, and 2.8 assists per game while making 42% of his shots.

In his second season, the Green Archers underwent a coaching change before the start of the new UAAP season as assistant coach Juno Sauler became the new head coach of the Archers by replacing Gee Abanilla, who went on to become the new head coach of the PBA's Petron Blaze Boosters.

The change would later prove to be vital for Teng's legendary collegiate career.

The Archers started the season with a 3–4 record after the first round of eliminations, but would sweep the second round of eliminations that included yet another game winner from Teng, this time against their rivals in the Blue Eagles.

The Archers finished the elimination round with a 10–4 record, good for a three-way tie with the NU Bulldogs and the FEU Tamaraws.

However, the Bulldogs got the #1 seed as they had the higher quotient among the three teams.

The Archers and Tamaraws fought for the #2 seed and the twice-to-beat advantage in the Final Four which the Archers won 74–69.

In 2011, Teng broke what was then the all-time Philippine record for points in a single game by scoring 104 points in a 164–74 win over Grace Christian College in the Tiong Lian tournament.

He simultaneously made 37 field goals, and also had 24 rebounds and six steals.
