Catholic Central coach TJ Meerman: “I’m excited for Phat and his family, knowing the amount of extra late-night and early-morning workouts he’s put in for four straight years. So much of Phat’s work is in those unseen hours, and he’s earned his way on a list with the likes of Chris Webber, Wilson Chandler, Jason Richardson and so many greats in our state.”
