• Phillips fills it up in a Warren win Dec 28, 2012 12:00 AM
  The shot — freakishly athletic, a catch-and-throw more so than a catch-and-shoot — soared vertically, hit high on the backboard, bounced on the rim and fell through the hoop. Warren senior forward Alyssa Phillips was even fouled on the play under the Niles North basket. So stunned that the ball dropped in, she smiled. "I just threw it up," Phillips said. "I don't even know how it went in." Phillips had that kind of game Friday in Warren's 54-35 win over the Vikings that evened its record at 2-2 in its own Blue Devil Classic.Phillips' performance — a career-high 20 points and 9 rebounds — was easier to explain than her sweet shot. She's been flashing her potential since scoring 30 points, her "lifetime high," as she called it, in a freshman game against Evanston three years ago.
