The '''JRU Heavy Bombers''' and '''Lady Bombers''' are the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association (Philippines)|National Collegiate Athletic Association]] varsity teams of the [[Jose Rizal University]].

The university's juniors team are the '''JRU Light Bombers'''.

The Heavy Bombers basketball team also plays in the [[PBA Developmental League]].

==Name==
The José Rizal University got its moniker from the abundance of [[World War II]] vintage bombs in their campus. The JRU campus, like many others, was turned into a garrison by the Japanese army. This led to many vintage bombs mined beneath the campus, which led to the ''heavy bombers'' moniker. The Seniors (collegiate) team adopted the ''Heavy Bomber'', while the Juniors (high school) team adopted the ''Amazing Light Bombers''.

==Scoring record==

* [[Point (basketball)|Point]]s - Keith Agovida 82 Points
* [[Assist (basketball)|Assist]]s - Cris Angelo Espinosa 21 Assists
* [[Rebounds]] - Joel Finuliar 14 Rebounds
* [[Steal (basketball)|Steal]]s - Cris Angelo Espinosa 16 Steals
