For the second-straight year, Bushland proved too much for Holliday to handle, ending the Lady Eagles’ season in the regional finals. Losses in the postseason are never easy, no matter the circumstance, but there’s absolutely no shame in bowing out to a better team.

Holliday’s Payton Murray is one of my favorites.

You can always find her breaking out new dance moves in warm-ups or smiling after smashing a big kill for the Lady Eagles. Murray attributes all that energy to nerves.
