SLAM DUNK

A Compilation of Sports Articles by Emjay Rosales

Welcome to Slam Dunk! This is my "home court" of sports articles you can check out. I produced these write-ups back in college when we were asked to produce a magazine called "Bull's Eye." Some of these exercises were written for my Sports Journalism subject assignments under Professor Filemon Viduya.
