Phillips is ready to fill up the win column for the Vikings in 2023-24. Spartanburg will enter said 2023-24 season with a veteran core – and that should work wonders for a Vikings team that is part of a very fluid and competitive 5A landscape. Phillips typically operates as a one in the backcourt. She is very gifted as a ball handler and in attacking the basket. She also has no issues with getting to the free throw line on the heels of drawing contact and can be relied upon on both ends of the floor with consistency. Phillips played her first season at the varsity level as an eighth grader.

Phillips first wore the navy blue and gold uniform of the Vikings when she was an eighth grader and has displayed statistical improvement in every season since. Similarly to her teammate Young, she also has played on the AAU circuit with NC Lady Gems. Phillips can be in the right places at the right times for her to grab rebounds. In addition, the defense that she brings on a game-by-game basis can put many opposing ball carriers in precarious positions where they are at risk at turning the ball over. Phillips is a combo guard that stays active away from the ball and can extend the floor with her ability to drain 3-pointers.

Phillips can fill up a stat sheet. As was the case with her teammate Young, Phillips also has experience on the grassroots circuit with NC Lady Gems. She has been playing basketball in Spartanburg‘s navy and gold colors since she was an eighth grader. When she receives playing time, one can see that she possesses many attributes coaches look for in point guards. Phillips will take shots from long range and stays active even away from the ball. She sets herself up in the best of positions to grab rebounds and can make things for whoever she defends very difficult. And those defensive stands can lead to her picking up steals.
