HOLLY POND — Fairview held off Cold Springs on Tuesday to claim a 61-56 triumph at the 64th annual Holly Pond Thanksgiving Tournament inside Felton Easterwood Gymnasium.
The Aggies will wrap up tournament play on Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. versus Lincoln County (Tenn.), while the Eagles will do the same at 5:30 p.m. against Douglas.
The teams battled throughout a tightly contested matchup, with Fairview holding a 47-46 lead midway through the fourth quarter. The Aggies then used an 8-0 surge to snag a 9-point advantage before Cold Springs answered with a 10-4 run of its own to pull to within three points (59-56) in the waning seconds.
A pair of Jack Brown free throws, however, helped put a lid on the victory for the Purple and Gold.
Peyton Bailey was also clutch from the charity stripe in the final frame, sinking all four of his attempts.
Owen Yarbrough spearheaded Fairview offensively with 22 points, while Brown and Preston Ryan corralled 14 apiece.
“It felt good (to get the win). Yesterday, our effort was lacking. But today, we brought the effort. When all your guys are playing as hard as they can, you come out with a win. We’ve all been in kind of a slump lately, so to see us all come out and do well, that’s good,” Ryan said.
Seth Williams provided a game-high 27 points for Cold Springs.
Micah Calvert (13) and Tanner Kilgo (10) also produced double-digit efforts.
In other action, Cullman advanced to the championship game — set for Wednesday at 7 p.m. against Arab — following a 66-37 win against Douglas.
Tucker Gambrill (14), Max Gambrill (14), Garrison Sharpe (12) and Kaleb Heatherly (10) notched double-digit performances for the Bearcats.
Holly Pond, meanwhile, fell to Lincoln County (Tenn.) 73-36.
The Broncos’ top offensive contributors were Levi Boatright (16) and Gunner Creel (six).
Holly Pond will play New Hope at 2 p.m.
