Sawyer Olinger put up 11 points, while Christian Couch (six), Levi Farr (four) and Carson Ryan (three) also contributed.

“Really, really happy for these guys,” Holly Pond coach Cory Glasscock said. “We were 4-16 coming out of Christmas last year, and they continued to show up every day and worked their tails off. And now that we’re 19-4, they show up and work their tails off every single day. They are the most high-character group of guys I’ve ever been around. Couldn’t be happier for them that they’re getting to see the fruits of all that hard work since last May.”
