Mike Phillips

I was a student at UK during that time and remember walking past Rick and Mike while walking to class. I remember thinking their thighs were bigger round than my whole body. There were truly TWIN TOWERS.

I remember Mike from his freshman year and beating maybe Indiana's best team in '75. I was glad UK won it all three years later. That was a great team and I'm an IU alum.

I was in 7th grade when I watched Mike lead us to the state championship. I especially enjoyed watching him dunk; the crowd went crazy because it wasn't legal to do in a game then. Then I enjoyed watching him play at Kentucky. So glad he came back to MHS for the reunion of the championship in the gym. Great player and sweet man.

Still speechless as is my Mom who loved Mike dearly. Rest in peace my old friend.
