<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1180834" first="Marcelous" last="Phillips"] 6’5" New Madrid Central: The athletic power forward had a productive tournament in helping the Eagles to the tournament championship. He scored 22 points in the semifinals against Charleston and added 10 points in the championship game against Cape Central. He plays a blue-collar game, which goes well with his explosive athleticism around the basket. He finishes well inside and he's an active rebounder. He also hit some key free throws down the stretch in the championship game against Cape Central on Monday night.</p>
