Phillips Wraps Up Spring Activity

Montez Phillips is not one to sit around waiting for something to happen. The multi-talented Phillips takes part in multiple sports even when they overlap at times. With the spring jamboree and high school baseball now complete, Phillips is looking forward to a little recovery time.

Phillips and and his Lafayette County teammates slipped by South Panola 7-0 this past Tuesday night to bring their spring practice to an end.

"I think it went real well," said Montez. "I only had three days of practice. Baseball season just ended the Tuesday before that. It felt good to get back out there."

The limited practice time certainly brought it's share of challenges for Phillips.

"The first practice didn't go too good," said Montez. "I guess I didn't know all of the plays. Everybody really stepped up after that and they answered a lot of questions I had about the team."

The talented quarterback believes the Commodores have what it takes to bring home a gold football come December.

"It think we can go out and compete for a state championship this season," said Phillips matter of factly. "4A is always real tough, but I think we can compete with everybody."

During the abbreviated spring practice, Montez saw assistant coaches from Alabama and Mississippi State observing at different times.

Phillips currently holds offers from Alcorn State, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Southern Miss. A decision is not planned anytime soon. The only thing Montez has on the calendar at this point is a short break followed by the beginning preparations for the season.

"I am just going to take some time off for a few days," said Phillips. "We start lifting weights again on June 2nd, so I am going to get some rest until then. Right after that we start 7-on-7."
