Swift has found the right import in Ronnie Thompkins after sending home their original choice Ledell Eackles, a starter from the Washington Bullets in the NBA who was overweight when he came here.
The Mighty Meaties struggled early in the Governors Cup elimination round by dropping three of their first five games with most of the blame on import Tony Harris.
The semifinal round was a roller-coaster ride for the Mighty Meaties, losing and winning each time in their outings and won their last game against Purefoods, 114-112 on November 26, to earn a playoff for a finals berth.
[3] On July 25, the Swift Mighty Meaties beat Shell Helix Oilers, 118-117 in overtime on Terry Saldaña's last-second basket.
The five players ejected for their involvement in the brawl were Relosa and Mulong Orillosa of Shell, Ronnie Thompkins, Zaldy Realubit and Cadel Mosqueda of Swift.
