Alex Phillips

Win, win, win that’s all the Mound City Panthers did last week as they tallied a three win week to improve to 15-4 on the season.

Perhaps the key cog in the Panthers great week of basketball was the play and leadership of senior, Alex Phillips, who at times was head and shoulders above everyone else on the court last week.

Mound City started the week off with 56-40 win over South Holt in which Alex was a sheer dominate force on the court. Phillips poured out 28 points and grabbed 17 rebounds in the contest for a huge double-double. Not only did the senior spark here team to victory but registered a career mark in the win tallying her 1,000^th career point.

After a dominate double-double on Monday night, Alex didn’t put up the same style of stat line on Tuesday in the Panthers 40-31 win over Mid-Buchanan, as she finished with five points and eight rebounds on the night. But it was the senior’s leadership that shined in the game to help encourage her teammates to help push the Panthers to another hard fought win.

Then Friday rolled around and the domination mode was turned on again by Phillips as she went off for another double-double in Mound City’s, 56-23 win over Rock Port. Alex put up 27 points, grabbed 13 rebounds and just for good measure registered five assists, in the win.

Overall on the week she finished with 60 total points and grabbed 38 rebounds over three games, all wins for Mound City.

Alex undoubtedly highlighted the week for Mound City with not only great performances but purely dominate games. As the Panthers gear up for the final stretch of regular season play, one thing is for sure Phillips and her dominate play will key how well Mound City continues to play.
