The Windthorst Trojans are going to State!
Windthorst (14-1) executed one play on offense to perfection and the defense made the lone touchdown stand up in a 7-0 victory over third-ranked Wellington (13-1) to advance to the Class 2A-DII State Finals.
The Trojans make their sixth trip to the title game and first since the 2010 season on Wednesday, Dec. 16, at 7 p.m. against three-time defending state champion Mart (14-0). With a win, these Windthorst players and coaches will be forever immortalized as the third state champion in school history.
Bree Zellers is a model of perseverance. The Holliday senior overcame an ACL tear in her sophomore year before being sidelined with a torn meniscus her junior season.
Despite the injuries, Zellers lifted the Lady Eagles to new heights in 2020. Holliday made its deepest postseason run since 2012, advancing to the Class 3A Region I Regional Finals before bowing out to eventual state champion Bushland. The Lady Eagles closed the season with a 24-5 record and a district title, largely in part to Zellers’ 261 kills, 42 aces, 25 blocks and 527 digs.
