The more things change, the more they stay the same: Holly High is headed to the Big House for the fourth straight season.

The Hawks of Holly Springs jumped all over Noxubee County early and often, taking a 17-7 first quarter lead and never looking back as they raced to a 76-43 win on Friday at ICC.

The win moved the Hawks to 25-7 on the season and, more importantly, got them one win closer towards their goal of a state title.

Holly Springs got 8 first quarter points from Derek Fountain and were able to control both ends of the court for the entire contest.
