The Lady Eagles seem to enjoy winning nail-biting district games, and Friday’s home matchup with the Jacksboro Tigerettes was no different as after being tied at 27-27 in the fourth quarter, Holliday eventually took a 3130 lead before going on a 9-4 run with under two minutes to seal the 40-32 victory.

Defense and rebounding is what set the Holliday Eagles apart in their 62-45 home-court clobbering over a high-powered Jacksboro Tigers on Friday, Jan. 10. The Eagles converted numerous second-chance buckets while also holding the Tigers to average under 12 points a quarter, including back-to-back quarters under double digits.

From deep playoff runs and collecting state medals, to crossing milestones not easily reached, Archer City, Windthorst, and Holliday all had their fair share of moments that the players and coaches should be proud of.
