When senior forward Faith Phillips entered the high school basketball ranks as a freshman she told herself ‘I’m going to do whatever helps the team out the most.’ Her role was unknown. As time passed, her ability to put the ball in the basket from different spots on the floor became the spade of her game.
A sweet touch shot over the middle gave the senior her 1,000th career point Tuesday night in the midst of a 61-38 blowout win over San Antonio Highlands (0-4) inside the Snake Pit.
The unknown became a motto for the senior’s time in San Marcos. Unknowingly, her longtime friend, senior guard Kayla Presley, would join her in her junior season. Unknowingly, she would commit to St. Mary’s to continue her basketball career. Having her role as a freshman would lead to this accolade in her career but she conquered each goal and is ready to exceed in more ways.
