July 19, 2006 | 12:00am
Some American sports ambassador missionaries overwhelmed the Punta Princesa Sports Association All-Stars, 88-77, in an exhibition game at the Vicente Sotto gym in Punta Princesa.
Boths squads jumped off to a rousing start as the first half ended into a 43-all deadlock.
But the visitors stepped up its game behind the efforts of point guard Steven Perry and the 6-foot-6 forward Douglas Laskouske.
With a five-point deficit entering into the final canto, the diminutive Lito Navarro gave PPSA some reasons to go on as action was tied in two occasions until the missionaries took control of the game.
With three minutes left, the towering 6'8 centers Josh Manthe and Eric Pangburns protected their lead and never gave PPSA another chance to come near them.
Manthe led the visiting squads with 25 points while Perry and Pangburns had a combined 35 points while the losing squad saw Robert Abasolo spearheading with 30 points.
