La Salle star scrapper Michael Phillips – the unquestioned heart and soul of the Green Archers – draws his power in his faith in the Lord, and thanks his teammates for inspiring him along the way
This is AI generated summarization, which may have errors. For context, always refer to the full article.Kevin Quiambao led the way as usual with 13 points, 13 rebounds, and 7 assists in the rout that saw a 40-all second-quarter tie vanish with a massive 17-2 breakaway bridging the two middle frames, and right next to him was the ever-energetic Michael Phillips with a 13-point, 14-board double-double.
“Speaking about the hustle, I get my strength from the Lord,” he said. “It’s in Isaiah 40:30-31: ‘Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.'”
Inspired by powers both earthly and otherwise, Phillips’ energy was oozing at the turn of the two halves, as the 6-foot-8 scrapper scored the halftime buzzer-beating tip-in to give La Salle a 44-40 lead, a precursor of the added beatdown Ateneo was about to suffer in the third quarter and beyond. “It’s bigger than basketball for me because this is a family that I’ve been a part of for five or six years and every time I’m with them, I get emotional because they’re extensions of Jesus Christ and coach Topex came in and really put that culture here, so I’m just thankful to these two guys especially right here, and especially to the Lord above.”
