Solid half for Holliday in their first appearance in the title game. Expect heavy pressure from Fairfield out the half to try and regain momentum and cut into the lead. About to see if Holliday is for real! First Q Holliday second Q fairfield if Fairfield has two more Q like the 2nd Q they will beat Holliday. idk what happen in first Q bc NFHS sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say Fairfield had a cover over their basket and Holliday didn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PantherNation2015 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 58-47 final. Holliday played an unbelievable game to get their 1st title! Fairfield played like champions in the 2nd half, fought back, and took the lead at one point. But Holliday was the real deal. Great game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the state title game was Fairfield vs Winny. If Brisco for holliday was as big (not tall) as acker down low it would be a problem but the brackens girls will be able to push her around unlike acker. Bristow was the MVP, but #10 for Holliday deserves big props too. She was very physical inside, knocked down a few layups, and got some key defensive rebounds. Holliday’s starting five was solid across the board. All seniors too and it showed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PantherNation2015 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 (edited) Lipan up 11-10 at end of Q1 over Gruver. If you want to watch two fundamentally sound basketball teams go at it, this is your game. Both teams are solid from top to bottom. Edited March 4 by PantherNation2015 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blesseddaily Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Congratulations to Faith Acker Named UIL STATE ALL-TOURNAMENT by Texas Association of Basketball Coaches. One of the hardest working young ladies I have ever seen!! Can't wait to see what she will accomplish at the next level!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevyman Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I never got on here during the tournament. I just have to say how proud i am of the Lady Raiders. Obviously a disappointing end to the season but there should be no hanging of their heads. They fought through alot of adversity this year and kept working and returned to the Final Four. Those 5 seniors are so special and will be very hard to replace but i know the other girls will get back to work and have a burning desire to make another run next year. Hats off to Holliday and FF, that final was a great game. What a run for the elder Brackens girls the last 4 years. No question they have generational talent and will continue at the next level. Just as our Lady Raiders will look different next year, so too will the Lady Eagles but i know they will be wanting to return to the mountain top as well next year. Already looking forward to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do the Lady Raiders have to do to beat the defending champs? Sorry friend i never got on here during the tournament. I thought we had a great strategy and did exactly what we needed to do to have the best chance to win. Kudos to the role players for FF, they made some big shots and then they ratcheted up their pressure when it counted the most. We just didnt make the plays down the stretch and you know that is just how it goes sometimes. Still very proud. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairfield played like champions in the 2nd half, fought back, and took the lead at one point. But Holliday was the real deal. Great game! I stayed and watched the game and i thought Holliday just outplayed FF. Also FF looked like they had tired legs for the majority of the game especially in the first half when they shot 4-26. Kudos to them for fighting back in the 4th on the shoulders of McKinna while Shadasia was on the bench with 4 fouls. After taking a 44-43 lead, FF started to make several turnovers and it ultimately led to Holliday finishing the game on a 15-3 run. The biggest difference to me was the lack of production from the role players compared to the Winny game as McKinna and Shadasia combined for 42 of the 47 with only one other girl scoring. Credit to Holliday for some outstanding defense and just a never die attitude. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
