With a team-leading 491 points this year, Phillips sits at 1,226 points on his career and has committed to play at Catawba College when he graduates in May.

Tucker was the final Greyhound to hit the 1,000 point makr, coming into the year with 752 career points. He crossed the 1,000 point mark on January 27 as the Greyhounds knocked off West Stokes 68-63 with a 19 point night.
