Monday night with a barn-burning
113-97 win over the Community
Braves. The game kept the overflow
crowd at Bowie High School in a near
frenzy as the two teams dashed up and
down the court ripping the nets with 2
and 3 pointers at will. The Eagles
hit 67.4% of their two-point attempts
and a total of eight (47.1%) 3-
pointers. The Braves connected on
fourteen 3-pointers including 9 (out of
14 attempts) by Jason Inlow.
The first period was a blitzkrieg
with Holiday hitting 14 of 25 from
the field and Community countering
with a blistering 12 of 18. The
Eagles' Rob Mcllhaney and Inlow
both contributed 14 points with
Mcllhaney's quater-ending bomb
posting a 33-29 advantage for the
Distict 9-2A champions.
Daniel Estrada opened the second
quarter with a '3' for the Big Red, but
the Braves rang up 11 straight points
to go up 40-36. Holliday countered
with an 11-1 run of their own to lead
47-41 with three minutes left before
halftime. The Braves closed the gap
to 49-48, but the Eagles inched out
to a 57-53 margin for intermission.
The torrid pace continued in the
second half. Community drew within
two at 68-66, but the Eagles hit 9 of
14 shots in the third period to open
the final stanza with a lead of 84-74.
Inlow and two other Brave starters
played with four fouls in the final
quarter before fouling out. The Eagles
streteched their margin to 95-79 and
held on to that 16 point advantage the
remainder of the game.
Mcllhaney shared top gun honors
with Inlow at 34, but Jason Duke,
Chad Caussey, and Estrada added 28,
26, and 20 points respectively to
bolster the Eagles' cause.
The win kept Holliday's season re-
cord unblemished at 33-0 and pro-
pelled them into the regional tourna-
ment at Stephenville this weekend.
The Eagles first game will be at either
6:30 or 8:00 p.m. Friday night a-
gainst an opponent which was to be
named Wednesday. Krum (31 -2), who
defeated Farmersville 81-80 in triple
overtime Tuesday night, will be in the
tourney as will the winners of the
Grandview (22-10) vs Rosebud-Lott
(18-12) and Malakoff (26-3) vs Mart
(15-5) contests.
The Eagles reached the area round
by defeating Chico 84-44 in bi-district
Friday night. After an early Chico
lead of 6-4, Holliday turned on the jets
and hit 75% of their shots in the
period for a 27-12 advantage. Jason
Duke scored 15 of his game-high 33
points in the first eight minutes. The
Eagles cooled off in the second
quarter, and Chico managed to keep
their deficit at 38-24 for halftime.
The third quarter paved the way for
the easy win as the Big Red out-
pointed the Dragons 214.
Chad Caussey and Rob Mcllhaney
added 18 and 15 points each in the
effort
