Kollin Brown netted 15 points, Gunnar McBee and Blake Rickard collected 12 apiece, and Class 2A No. 2 Holly Pond crushed 2A No. 3 Decatur Heritage 63-26 on Tuesday night to secure the regular-season Area 13 title.
The Broncos led 30-12 at halftime and 53-23 after three quarters en route to improving to 19-4 overall and 6-0 in area play.
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.”
