Career highlights and awards

High school career

Mocon, coached by the renowned Edmundo "Ato" Badolato, started playing for the San Beda’s team in the boys' leagues. On his junior year, he joined and played for the San Beda Red Cubs in the NCAA from 2011 up to 2013. In all of those years, Mocon has won the juniors' basketball championship, with two out of the three seasons (87, 89), the Red Cubs swept all 18 elimination round games to qualify outright to the finals with the thrice to beat advantage. In season 88, the Red Cubs lost only one game to the Malayan Red Robins (60–64), ending the elimination round with a 17-1 record.

College career

Mocon, stayed with his alma mater and suited up for the Red Lions in 2014.[2] He was part of the San Beda Red Lions team who won the title, San Beda's 5th consecutive, its eighth title in the past nine years and 19th overall men's basketball crown.[3]

According to a Slam Philippines article during his rookie season, "he’s a legit 6’4” forward with low post footwork, he is a mean slasher off the triple-threat stance, and he has a respectable 15 foot jumper especially from the elbows. His rebounding and inside defense have been superb in the juniors, and that’s what he expects to contribute right away to the defending 4-peat NCAA champs."[4]

In his second year with the Red Lions, under new head coach Jamike Jarin,[5] they fell short of securing a rare six-peat championship crown, ending as the runners-up in 2015. In an interview with Fox Sports, he stated, “I don’t want to remember that feeling and ‘yun ang motivation ko, sobrang sakit talaga nung matalo kami sa Letran, archrival pa namin."[6]
