Did not know Terry Don had dementia. I’ve never forgotten him reaching out to me 11 years ago following a column I wrote after my dad died of that same horrendous disease.
We are saddened to share that former Director of Athletics Terry Don Phillips has passed away.

Final game of the Thomas Izaguirre era at Daniel.
MSOC Final: Southside 4, Daniel 1. The Lions battled back to cut the deficit to one on a Marcos Moore goal with 10 minutes left but the Lions just couldn’t overcome being a man down.

MSOC Half: Southside 1, Daniel 0. Lions are in real trouble giving up a goal on a free kick from Adriel Rodriguez the losing senior Owen Huey to a red card in the final minutes of the half. Daniel will look to complete its comeback a man down.
