Holliday senior Bailee Bowers had herself a week to remember. After breaking the 20-point plateau just once in her final campaign with the Red and White – a 20-point game against Nocona on Dec.

Ninth-ranked Holliday (26-2) is now a win away from clinching its first district championship since 2019. The Eagles – winners of 26 straight contests – blasted Jacksboro (80-54) and Henrietta (64-40) last week and can lock up the District 7-3A crown on Tuesday with a win at City View.

The Archer City Wildcats clashed with the Olney Cubs on Tuesday, Jan. 30. With both teams starting their second half of district play, the Wildcats looked to bag their second win in district and continue to contend for the fourth-place spot that was held by the Petrolia Pirates, while Olney was still searching for their first win in district.

The Windthorst Trojanettes welcomed the Petrolia Lady Pirates in district action on Tuesday, Jan 30. The 7-1 Trojanettes looked to strengthen their grasp on second place in district with a win over a Lady Pirates team that was fighting to keep their fourth-place spot. Petrolia kept the game close in the first quarter, but it was all Windthorst for the rest of the game, with the Trojanettes winning comfortably 77-21.

As we begin a new month, we look toward Ash Wednesday and the season of Lent. Lent is a season of forty days, not counting Sundays, which (this year) begins on Ash Wednesday, February 14th and ends on Holy Saturday, March 30th.
