Luis Antonio B. Licas (born November 10, 2003) is a Filipino sports journalist. He was a former writer for American sports website The Foul Shot prior to its closure.

As a campus journalist
Licas started in the field of sports writing since elementary at San Beda College Alabang where he was the head sports editor for the school publication The Junior Bedan. He would go on to represent the school twice as part of the elementary division at the Muntinlupa Division Schools Press Conference (DSPC) in 2014, where he won silver, and 2015, where he won gold. This qualified him to represent Muntinlupa City at the NCR Regional Schools Press Conference (RSPC) but failed to place both times.

After four years, now in junior high school, he would be chosen to represent San Beda Alabang once more in 2019 at the DSPC. He participated in the secondary division of sports writing where he ranked first place out of the whole city. This solidified him as one of the best campus journalists in Muntinlupa, having placed first or second in all of his DSPC stints. He would go on to represent Muntinlupa City once more in the RSPC but failed to qualify for the National Schools Press Conference.

As an online contributor
He was a contributing writer for internet sports personality Kentrell Beecham's basketball website The Foul Shot in 2016 before it was disbanded the same year, under the pseudonym Luis dela Cruz. He wrote articles ranging from topics such as the NBA and FIBA with his first article being published on June 15.
