As a freshman coming into a new scene, senior forward Faith Phillips was just excited to receive practice uniforms during her first varsity scrimmage. Now she’s a pillar of the San Marcos Lady Rattler basketball program.
Phillips dominated from start to finish in her final game inside the Snake Pit on Saturday, dropping a season-high 23 points in a 56-43 win against Lake Travis (17-7, 11-3 district) and effectively ended the Lady Cavaliers’ seven-game win streak.
“It’s our last game in this gym, so I had to show out. You know, I took everything I had and put it on the court today,” Phillips said. “We don’t play until at least Thursday, Friday or Saturday. We don’t know yet about our playoff game, so I’ve got enough time to rest and recuperate. I just gave it my all and I wanted to beat them. We needed revenge from our last game.”
