Shon Phillips...Growin' in2 his own

Shon Phillips 6'1" PG from World Communication knows everything about making the best of any situation. To watch your team go down hard last year because of little mistakes and now trying to erase those thoughts and start wit something new for him self. It's definitely helpful when you have someone supporting you. No one has been any close of a supporter than his mother Val Phillips, who was a All American Basketball Player from Virginia State. Coming from a basketball family, he knew nothing but basketball and has worked had to make the transition.

The transition started when he was in Overbrook and things really didn't seem positive to have the opportunity to attend a quality school and play basketball...but that would change with a World Communication needing a solid PG who knew the game and was smart with the basketball. This is where Shon would step in. He would make move to Broad & South Street and his grades would then improve and he would begin to really think about the opportunity of play college basketball.

He's been a huge production but hasn't been giving the clearest look for college. He's a 2 year starter at a program and averaging 10 ppg., 4.3 asst., 6.3 rbs., 4 stls. and a block a game which has improved the team to the point where they are 15-5 and have a number 3 seeding for the playoffs this year. They have not only worked hard towards making a better effort for the championship but they expect Phillips to lead them to the promise land with this quick handle, defensive skills, aggressive movement and smart playing. Hopefully...this will transcend him into college. Check out his highlights...
