A Bronco Connection to Michigan?
This may just be a coincidence, but someone has informed me of a town in Michigan called Holly. And to make this better, the towns high school, Holly High School, are known as the Mighty Bronchos. That's not a spelling mistake it's spelled the bronchos or broncos, just a variation in spelling. The town is outside of Detroit and has a population of about 6,000. Pretty cool, i bet they don't say "Roll Pond" though.

Holly Pond Secures Playoff Spot & HP WINS STATE!!!
With a 10-0 win over New Hope, the Holly Pond Broncos have clinched a spot in the AHSAA 3A state baseball playoffs. The 3rd ranked Broncos will travel to Plainview in the first round of the playoffs next Friday. 
And yes, Holly Pond has won the first state championship in school history. The Geometry team won the class 1A-3A State Championship. Leaving some students to ask, "Where's my ring?". Although it is academics and this is a sports blog, how can I not manage to talk about this. It's a state championship! So take that West Point. Congratulations to Mrs. Adams and the math team.

Bronco Basketball, The End of a Season
The varsity boys basketball team lost tonight to Crossville in the final game of the season. The Broncos lost 86-53.
Commentary
From early losses to winning streaks. The fans and students have supported the program through the Felton Fanatics, cheerleaders, and band. I know the support is taken with thanks and gratitude. I believe this season will be know as a program building season. Not to take away from the success of our student athletes and the faithful dedication from the coaches, parents, students, and fans, but we must realize that championships are built on years and years of building. Foundations of success are constructed with a dedication, a heart, and a hope that you can meet the expectations of your potential. This program saw the installation of new coaches on the girls side with Coach Chaney and Coach Adams taking leadership roles to lead the female student athletes of Holly Pond to conceivable success in all sports. Coach Neal pushed his team to a winning season and did so with a dedication and passion for this school and program. Coach Morris, above all, taking on odds that were against him, and a tough area , looked to this group of players and told them to play with all there heart, play with a passion, and continue the tradition of this program. But more than the coaches, more than the records, more than championships, isn't the game about the players? The student athletes who commit themselves to academics, athletics, and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ day after day and game after game. Some will now move on to baseball, track, and softball, others will go on to college and careers to only relive the glory and memories of high school sports. The season is over. It's over for the coaches who spend hours and hours in practice, in preparation for the season. It's over for the seniors, who now know the fate of there basketball careers and now realize that the last seconds of a game, that they have lived years for, has quickly ticked away. A buzzer sounds, and then it's over.
