Bushland proved it deserved to be the top-ranked team in the state. The Lady Falcons (26-2) entered Saturday’s Region I-3A Final having not dropped a set in their previous 14 matches and only losing 10 sets all season. That trend held true in Childress as Holliday (24-5) ran into the Bushland buzzsaw in a 3-0 (25-6, 25-13, 25-16) season-ending loss.
