Frank Phillips College Athletics

The Plainsmen compete in the NJCAA, the national governing body for junior college athletics that offers athletic scholarships and competitive two-year college sports. Frank Phillips fields seven varsity teams with 105 total athletes, meaning about 14% of the 749 students participate in college athletics. The athletic department awards $698,780 in scholarships annually, providing significant financial support for student-athletes. The college competes in Region V of the NJCAA, facing other community colleges across the Texas Panhandle and surrounding areas. As a small rural college in Borger, athletics help build school spirit and provide recruitment tools for students who want to continue competing while earning their associate degrees. The relatively high percentage of student-athletes creates a tight-knit athletic community where teams often support each other at competitions.
