Holbrook had a three-match homestand last week and fared well, picking up their first two regular-season wins in the process.
Hosting Coolidge on Tuesday, the Roadrunners prevailed in four games. After dropping game one 18-25, they regrouped to win a close game two 25-23, then won the third game more easily 25-14. Coolidge didn’t go easily in the fourth, where Holbrook eventually closed out the match with a 25-23 win.
Thursday, Alchesay visited Mike Starr Gym, where Holbrook is playing its home games this season. The Falcons played well early, handing Holbrook a 19-25 loss. Like the previous match, Holbrook bounced back, winning the next three games, though the second game was a marathon that the Birds eventually won 31-29. They took game three 25-22, then closed out the match with a 25-21 game four win.
Saturday afternoon, Page made a visit that took five games to decide the winner. Holbrook dropped the first game 22-25, but won the second 25-23 between the two evenly matched squads. The Birds dropped a close Game 3, 24-26, but forced a 5th game with a 25-13 win in Game 4. In the fifth, Page jumped out to an early lead before winning the game and the match 15-10.
This week, Holbrook will travel to Ganado on Monday, then will host Window Rock on Friday. Next week they host Monument Valley for a region contest on Thursday.
The Lady Roadrunners now have a 2-4 regular-season record heading into this week.
