FAYETTEVILLE — With his future college coaches sitting in the stands earlier this week, Arlington, Texas, Grace Prep star and Arkansas signee Jordan Phillips didn’t disappoint.
Phillips (6-7, 210) poured in 35 points and grabbed nine rebounds as Grace Prep (22-5) downed Pantego 59-49 on Tuesday.
He did so with Razorback head coach Mike Anderson and assistant Scotty Thurman on hand, according to Grace Prep head coach Richie Alfred.
“It wasn’t surprising to see him go out and score 24 points and grab 10 rebounds just on his athleticism,” Alfred said, “but he has worked hard at the skill areas and really in the last month I think he has really started to grasp the game and is starting to really play it the way it should be played.
