Kayla Presley and Faith Phillips’ careers weren’t parallel lines.
The seniors grew up together, making that perfect guard-post combo, as Phillips was just bigger than everyone and Presley had the guard-like abilities to get her friend the ball. The two hit a crossroads when Kayla’s mother, Denisha Presley, was hired as the principal of Kyle Lehman, forcing the pair to find their own lane in the sports they loved.
They reunited in 2019 at San Marcos, creating one of the best duos in the state and ever since then, the lines have been parallel for the two. Both scored 1,000 points in the same week, both led San Marcos out of a five-year playoff drought, both were named McDonald’s All-American nominees and both celebrated their commitments to play at the college level on Thursday.
