// 2010 GUARD CHENE PHILLIPS LOOKING FOR BREAKOUT SEASON //

CHENE PHILLIPS HAS BEEN A VARSITY BASKETBALL PLAYER FOR THREE YEARS... AFTER EACH SEASON CHENE HAS WORKED HARD TO GET HIS GAME BETTER PREPARING FOR THE NEXT LEVEL... THE LIKES OF DELANO COLLINS AND PAUL WILLIAMS ARE GONE... NOW ITS HIS TURN!!

CHENE HAD AN EXCELLENT SUMMER IN 2009. PLAYING WITH THE WELL-KNOWN R.E.A.C.H LEGENDS AND WITH RENAISSANCE, CHENE WAS GIVEN OPPONENT GUARDS FITS. HE WASN'T JUST SCORING ALOT OF POINTS BUT ALSO RUNNING THE OFFENSE AND GETTING HIS TEAMMATES INVOLVED.

"WORKING ON MY GAME IS SOMETHING I LOVE TO DO. IN ORDER TO BE GREAT, YOU GOTTA WORK. I'VE SEEN ALOT OF GREAT GUARDS COME OUT OF RENNY AND THEY ALL WORKED HARD ON THEIR GAME. IT'S MY TURN TO LEAD BY EXAMPLE JUST LIKE THEY DID." SAYS CHENE

THIS TWO-YEAR STARTER AVERAGED 12 POINTS AND 4.5 ASSISTS IN 2009. THE ONE THING THAT SEPERATES CHENE FROM ALOT OF OTHER GUARDS IS THAT HE CAN REALLY DEFEND. HE HAD 51 STEALS LAST YEAR AS A RESULT OF BEING A GREAT DEFENDER.

CHENE IS ALSO A GREAT STUDENT IN THE CLASSROOM WITH A 24 ACT SCORE AND A 3.5 OVERALL GPA.

LOOKOUT THIS SENIOR IS SET TO BLAST OFF IN 2010!!!
