“We’re really excited to have Philip join the Laker family,” Alexander said. “Philip brings a wealth of experience and maturity to our program and he will bring great depth inside. He will also provide scoring, rebounding and toughness, which is what we think we need to compete in this league and at nationwide.”
Schultheis played locally at Starr’s Mill, where he graduated this year. The 6-3 guard earned second-team all-region and second-team all-county honors as a senior.
