Holly's Nick Stoll dunks one o... HOLLY, Michigan - After a slow start, the Holly Bronchos used an 18-4 second quarter to literally run the visiting Brandon Blackhawks out of the horseshoe Friday night, 63-52.
The final score doesn’t really indicate the story of this game. Holly overcame a 11-9 first quarter deficit and then Brandon, down 12 at the half, tried to speed up the game with some aggressive full court pressure. It did not work.
Holly repeatedly attacked the Brandon pressure leading to easy buckets. The major beneficiary of this failed tactic was Holly senior, Nick Stoll.
Stoll finished many a fast break after Holly’s guards were able to push the ball through the Blackhawk press.

Holly's Kelsey Foucart drive t... HOLLY, Michigan - Helped in great measure by 10 first half steals and 17-3 first quarter, the Holly girls’ basketball team cruised to an easy over Brandon Friday night, 37-22.
The Bronchos’ Allyssa Copley had 10 first quarter points, along with two steals and a block to put Holly in a position for a great game. Needing a win in a big way after the tough loss to Clio on Tuesday, the Bronchos came out strong in this home win.
“We go hard every game,” said Holly senior Kelsey Foucart. She was instrumental in the Broncho effort, coming off the bench.
“We needed to come out play, like we did at Clio, just with a little more intensity,” said Holly’s Brooke Harthun.

Holly's Allyssa Copley is houn... CLIO, Michigan - With Holly coming in at 9-1 and Clio at 7-2 in Flint Metro League play, this was a big game for both teams. Each team hoped to keep close to league leading Lapeer West (10-1) but it was the Mustangs cruising at the end to win this one, 47-37.
The Bronchos came out strong to start, especially on the defensive end, but failed to convert on several easy looks at the basket in the first quarter. Holly’s six foot sophomore Allyssa Copley had five rebounds and five steals in the first quarter alone.
However, Holly had cold streaks on the offensive end not only at the start, but also during the last two and one-half minutes of the game when Clio used a 10-0 run to close it out for the final margin.

Allyssa Copley shoots over Cr... SWARTZ CREEK, Michigan - Led by strong efforts from seniors Delaney Serra and Lauren Maher, as well as a great game from super soph Allyssa Copley, Holly defeated the Swartz Creek Dragons in Genesee County Friday night, 50-49 in overtime.
Holly trailed most of the game but moved to a 40-37 lead after two Serra free throws. They then held a 41-38 lead when Creek’s Gabby Deering hit a long three-pointer to send it to overtime.
If Deering’s heroics weren’t enough, the Dragons’ Lauren Adas drained a long three of her own with 35 seconds left in overtime to cut the final margin to one. Creek then had a chance for a win with a three-attempt at the buzzer but it fell off and Holly held on.

Holly's Nick Stoll passes the... SWARTZ CREEK, Michigan - The Holly Bronchos were coming to Swartz Creek Friday night hoping to avenge a 73-57 loss to the Dragons in the late stages of the 2010-2011 season. But a strong effort by the home team was too much again as Holly fell to Creek, 69-51.
One of the older gyms in the Flint Metro League, Swartz Creek high school has that “old, smelly gym feel” that seems to intimate opponents. Traditionally a team that relies heavily on the three-pointer, the Dragons repeatedly attacked the basket and it paid off.“They scored most of their points inside and give them credit,” said Holly coach Lance Baylis. “It’s the first game we played really bad defensively.”
That combined with on off night from the field and a horrible seven for 22 effort at the free throw line were too much for Holly to overcome.
