Holbrook will finish out the regular season with two road games. They travel to Blue Ridge on Thursday, then will be in Show Low on Monday. If they can’t get at least one of those two games, their season will more than likely be over after Monday’s game at Show Low. Holbrook enters the final two games with a 3-13 regular season record.
