Another up-tempo team in this year’s tournament are the Lions of Mountain View College (Texas). Their aggressive play has led to a team average of 89 points per game. They come into the tournament with a 22-11 record after defeating Eastfield College 94-86. Coach LeRoi C. Phillips, Jr. brings an experienced squad to Delhi in Mountain View’s first-ever visit to the tournament. “Our players believe in themselves and their ability to win,” said Coach Phillips.
The Lions sport a quartet of players that form the core of their offense. Sophomore guard Kevin Thomas provides 19 points and 3 rebounds per game, while his fellow guard Rashad Sample accounts for 14 points and 7 assists per game. On the inside, Mountain View looks to two 6’4” forwards, Jeffery Ayisirie and Kenny Domouchet, for their combined 24 points and 16 boards per game.
