Wildkat Nation mourns the passing of sports legend James "Junior" Phipps on May 8 at his home in Jasper, Georgia. Phipps was a multi-sport Kokomo athlete and a 1952 Indiana All-Star in basketball who went on to play for the Indiana Hoosiers. He was 92.
The following is from the Howard County Sports Hall of Fame (induction class of 2019):
An all-around athlete, James “Junior” Phipps earned nine letters at Kokomo High School in basketball, football, and track, but his skills on the hardwood stood out as he was selected as an Indiana Basketball All-Star in 1952 and went on to play for Branch McCracken at Indiana University.
In his senior year at KHS, Phipps played for Coach Joe Platt on a squad that went 25-3, losing 62-60 to eventual state champ Muncie Central in the semi-state finals. The team’s record was the best in KHS history at the time. Kokomo was also North Central Conference champs during Phipps’ senior year, and he was named to the All-NCC squad.
In that year’s Indiana All-Star game, Phipps came off the bench to lead an Indiana rally in the fourth quarter. He finished with four points, nine rebounds, and 12 assists, but his most important contribution was the first basket of the overtime, which put the Indiana team ahead for good. Indiana won 86-82.
Phipps lettered in men’s basketball with the 1954 Big Ten champion Hoosiers as well as in 1955 and 1956.
Our thoughts are with the Phipps family. #LegacyMatters

“First of all, and I know we both agree with this — We want to give all the glory to God.”
Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza and WR Omar Cooper Jr. pointing to the Lord after their big win over Penn State.
“The difference between capitalist and socialist promises is reality itself.
“Capitalism tells you the truth even when it’s uncomfortable. It says success must be earned, that life isn’t fair, and that no one owes you a living. It doesn’t promise ease; it promises the freedom to rise as high as your effort and ability take you. Its promises have weight because they rest on cause and effect, not wish and decree.
“Socialism, by contrast, thrives on comforting lies. It tells you you’re entitled to what others produce, that envy is justice, and that the laws of economics and human nature can be ignored if you shout loud enough. It pretends scarcity, effort, and consequence can be voted away.
“Capitalism is honest about cost and reward. Socialism denies both, until reality collects the debt.”
