The trophy case in Holliday is going to need a little more room. The Lady Eagles brought home their fifth state championship and third in the last five seasons, winning the Class 3A crown by 80 points.

It is a cold and dreary late October day as the almost- 17-year-old Lexsey McLemore, wrapped in a blanket and resting in a cozy recliner, sits by the fire at home in Windthorst, Texas. The demeanor of this young woman, daughter of Matt and Brooke McLemore, shines in stark contrast to the weather outside.

Rylee Wolf has this volleyball thing figured out.

Following a sluggish start in its Bi-District match against DeLeon, Windthorst head coach Allison Bussey challenged her team to eliminate some of the errors that plagued them in its next round. The Trojanettes responded to the challenge as it bested Albany 25-15, 25-16, 25-15, in Graham on Thursday, Nov.

Holliday senior quarterback Grant Cox threw for five touchdowns and added a pair of TD runs to lead the seventh-ranked Eagles (9-1, 5-0) to a 48-20 dismantling of Callisburg (5-5, 2-3) on Friday. Cox finished the night going 24-of-35 for 386 yards while Holliday raced out to a 27-0 lead just nine minutes into the contest that proved to be too much for the Wildcats to overcome.
