It’s the first time since 1988 that Bourret will call a game. Calling football is “the tough est” for a broadcaster, Fulton said. “You have so many people in volved in the game,” the game is fast and mud sometimes obscures players’ numbers. “You face a lot of obstacles,” he said. But Phillips, a native of Youngstown, Ohio, mastered it. He was named South Carolina Broadcaster of the Year five times and won the master broadcaster award in 1992. Phillips attended Ashland College in Ohio, starting his broadcasting career in 1953 on Ashland’s WATG Radio. He became the voice of Kent State in 1966. Clemson hired him two years later. Phillips also was sports di rector for WYFF-TV in Greenville from 1968 to 1980 and was sports director of WFBC ra dio for 25 years. He called Greenville Braves games from 1984 to 1990. Friday night, he was at Clemson’s Hall of Fame induction banquet. He had been inducted into the hall in 1992. IPTAY executive director George Bennett remembered Phillips as a country music fan who loved going to the Grand Ole Opry. “He was the kind of guy who would want to get there at 6 p.m. and stay until midnight,” Bennett said. Bennett said he would try to get Phillips a burial plot in Clemson’s famed cemetery hill next to the stadium, but that he was told Phillips had purchased a cemetery plot in Greenville about a month ago. He is survived by his wife, Ruth, a son and a daughter. Visitation will begin at 7 p.m. Thursday at Mackey Mortuary in Greenville. The funeral will be 2 p.m. Friday at Abiding Peace Lutheran Church in Simpsonville. The school will recognize Phillips in at least two ways. Clemson was opening the gate in front of Howard’s Rock at Memorial Stadium and fans would be allowed to leave flowers in tribute along the hill that the Tigers traditionally run down to begin home games. Also, a tribute is planned for Saturday’s game, Bourret said. www.dailygamecock.com l\ mi. Nobody covers USC better 1« ► } Nobody Reads ads In ITHSMAMECOCK But you just did!
