Grenada's Phillip to lead AWC in NJCAA Football Semis


Shanon Phillip

YUMA, Arizona, October 26, 2011 - Grenada’s Shanon Phillip will lead the Arizona Western College in a semi-final game against Pima Community College on Wednesday in the NJCAA Men’s Football Division 1.
Phillip, who is the captain of the AWC’s Matadors, is hoping that his team could make it all the way to the final and retain its title.
Phillip, a defender, played for St Mark’s Secondary School and Hurricane FC in the domestic competitions and was also a member of Grenada’s 2011 Gold Cup team.
It’s the sixth time in the last seven seasons that the Matadors have qualified for the postseason, and it’s the second straight year that the Matadors have won the right to host the second round of the postseason by virtue of clinching one of the top two spots in the conference.
It will also be a rematch of last year’s Region 1 Final, which the Matadors won in Yuma, 2-0, to win their first-ever Region 1 Championship.
