Boyet: First PBA crown
just like ’91 SEAG win
BY CEDELF TUPAS
They may fall in different categories but Negrense basketball player-turned-coach Boyet Fernandez has ranked his first PBA crown alongside the 1991 Southeast Asian Games gold medal as the greatest achievements of his career so far.
“I am happy. The win was fulfilling,” Fernandez told the DAILY STAR, a day after guiding Sta. Lucia Realty to its first PBA All-Filipino crown at the expense of favored Purefoods in a thrilling best-of-seven series.
Fernandez also bagged his first PBA championship ring with the 100-88 game 7 triumph and said the feeling was just like winning the SEA Games gold medal in 1991 in Manila.
