I never knew Stephanie Phillips. I had spoken to her in passing a few times, but I think it’s safe to say she didn’t know my name and wouldn’t have recognized me if you had shown her my picture. Every time I watched the Lady Chiefs play and had a chance to introduce myself, I would defer thinking “She has more important things to do than talk to me.” But since her days as a player at Springfield Catholic, I had watched her. And as a avid people watcher I observed certain things about her. Then with the onset of her illness, a good deal of her private life became public allowing me to observe even more about her.

A fun night as always in Springfield at the 33rd Lions Club All-Star Classic pitting the best of the city vs the best of the area. In the girls game, Kylie Williamson of Lighthouse Christian took over down the stretch scoring 11 of the City’s final 15 points as the City girls grab a rare win in the series 56-51. Both Casey Carroll of Kickapoo and Shelby Stewart of Parkview helped out with 11 points each. Nixa’s Emily Walker was the only Area girl in double figures with 16.
Points were much more plentiful in the boys game, but they played a bit longer as the Area boys got two free throws from Zac Hill of Nixa with 1.9 seconds left in the third overtime to win 97-95. Continue reading 2010 Springfield Lions Club All-Star Classic
