Player of the Week: Pringle carrying GlobalPort on his back

GlobalPort is doing just fine since the departure of its former star in Terrence Romeo.

The Batang Pier are poised to make the quarterfinals with a 4-4 record and a major part of their success is due to the stellar play of Stanley Pringle.

The Fil-American guard has been the heart and soul of GlobalPort and his leadership was in full effect on Wednesday in the Batang Pier’s upset win over the mighty San Miguel Beermen.

Pringle collected 22 points, eight rebounds, five assists and three steals and he was most effective in the crucial moments.

He had eight points in the fourth quarter and a key steal that led to Mo Tautuaa’s game-sealing basket in the waning seconds.
