Men's Basketball Family Gets Bigger
East Tech Prospect Commits to the Bobcats!
The Bobcat Men's Basketball program got a good one in Phillip Byrd out of East Tech in Cleveland. The standout scored in double digits 15 out of the 21 games he played as a senior at East Tech. Even though he can fill it up, Phillip considers himself a defensive player first.
"Looking forward to playing with the guys and having a great season. Team chemistry is important. Would like to thank coach Corey, Mike, Rick, my family. My mom."
Why did you come to BSC?
"Dwayne is family. Being a student athlete is the priority. I had interest from D3's but wanted to see how high of a level I can play at after JUCO ball."
