Holly Pond's Griffin Morris fires up a 3-pointer.

If you merely scratched the surface of Holly Pond’s excellent season, it’d be easy to come away rather impressed.

Just look at the basic, indisputable facts.

The Broncos have won 32 of their 33 games, setting a school record for victories in a single campaign.

The Broncos have won 16 straight matchups and currently hold the No. 2 ranking in Class 3A.

The Broncos have won county, area, sub-regional and regional titles — all in the past 30 days.

Name a coach who wouldn’t have taken that before the year started.

I can’t.

What’s even more impressive than those above accomplishments is the manner in which they’ve been achieved.

Let’s take a deeper look.

So far this season, Holly Pond has outscored its opponents 2,760 to 1,609. 

I did the math (read: I used my iPhone calculator) to figure out a few things you might find fascinating.

The average score of a Green and White game? 83.6 to 48.8.

The average margin of victory over county programs? 38 points.

The average margin of victory over area foes? 52 points.

Take away a 71-66 triumph over Lauderdale County last Saturday and an 80-76 loss to Meigs (Ohio), and the closest matchup the Broncos have played came on Dec. 2 against Cold Springs, which ended up being a 17-point win (74-57). Holly Pond also broke the school’s single-game scoring mark (117 against Susan Moore) before besting the record just a few days later with a 123-50 blitzing of Carbon Hill.

It doesn’t get much better than that.

For Mitch Morris, he’s just glad to be on the right side of his squad’s wrath.

“I find myself amazed at the stuff they can do,” the longtime coach said. “I haven’t been around anything like this. I’ve had some groups that could explode and score but nothing as consistent as this group does. People expect us to get 80 or 90 points a game. 

“I think they left a lot of people feeling disappointed at Wallace, because we didn’t play the games how we wanted to play them. But these guys put in a lot of hard work people don’t see. They make my job a lot easier.”

Surprisingly, the players aren’t exactly in love with their copious amount of hot clocks.

Sure, they love winning and love being able to take it easy now and again, but Griffin Morris would much rather have the juices flowing in the fourth quarter.

“It’s fun beating people bad once in a while, and we are blessed to be able to do that, but I do wish we had a lot more competitive games,” he said. “I think it would only help us with games like we have coming up. It’s fun to have the pressure of people wanting you to score a lot, but it also gets a little bit taxing.”

Should the Broncos continue their dominant run through Birmingham, Morris’ tune could change.

A victory over No. 1 Midfield Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. followed by a state title that Friday would have the talented guard singing a whole new song.

“Of course, yes,” he said with a smile. “It will be OK to win those games by a lot.”
