Career highlights and awards | |
Stanley Wayne A. Pringle Jr. (born March 5, 1987) is a Filipino-American professional basketball player who currently plays for GlobalPort Batang Pier in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). Pringle played college basketball for Pasco–Hernando State College for 2 years and for Penn State in his last two years in college. He was the top overall pick of the 2014 PBA draft.
Being in the US Navy, the Pringle family spent time in Korea and Japan. Stanley started playing basketball in a Japanese youth Navy league at the age of six. Because his basketball talent and skills were beyond those of his age group abroad, Stanley competed against older kids. After moving back to Virginia with his family, he was picked up by the Virginia Beach Heat, a local Amateur Athletic Union team coached by Steve Strausbaugh and Norman Hassell.
Pringle was the starting point-guard of Landstown High School in Virginia Beach for four years. As a senior, he averaged 18.3 points and 6.1 assists per game to lead his team to a 22-3 record and the Virginia Class AAA state tournament final. For these exploits, he was named first-team all-state by the coaches, second team by the Associated Press, and was named the Virginia Beach Player of the Year. Pringle scored 1,100 career points in his high school career and was the captain of the team for two years.
Pringle spent his first two years of college basketball at Pasco-Hernando State College, being the team captain under coach Bobby Bowman. As a freshman, he led the Conquistadors to a third-place finish on a 15-15 record in the Suncoast Conference. This with per-game averages of 16.5 points and 3.8 assists earned him 2006 Suncoast Conference Freshman-of-the-Year and first-team all-conference honors. As a sophomore, he was 2007 Suncoast Conference Player-of-the-Year, first-team Florida Community College Athletic Association All-State selection, and earned an honorable-mention National Junior College Athletic Association All-American for leading his team to a 19-12 record on 18.9 points, 5.5 assists, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per game.
