Holmes got to play their uptempo game in the 2nd half, and pretty much dominated the game. Ricardo Johnson was the Holmes leader.

Very impressive win for Holmes

[Stardust]

State runner-up last March, Holmes showed Thursday afternoon that it can make a run at the Sweet Sixteen title again this March. The Bulldogs were impressive in a first-round 72-61 victory over Christian County in Rupp Arena.

It was a team effort by Holmes, which shot 55% and limited Christian County to 33%.

Ricardo Johnson had 15 points and 11 rebounds for the winners. Brandon Housley came off the bench to get 15 points and 6 rebounds. Jamel Riley had 13 points and 6 rebounds, and Elijah Pittman added 9 points and 6 rebounds.

Corey Wilford’s 21 points led Christian County. Donovan Kates had 10 points and 5 rebounds.

This is just a first round game, right?

That's what I thought.

[WILDCAT DEN07]

it wont be this easy in the next round for Holmes. Because they will be taken on Lex. Catholic. I think it will be a good matchup. And hopefully an upset.

Didn't think the Bulldogs would have let this game get into the 60's and 70's. However, great win for them.

Congrats Holmes and good luck!
