Josh Houldsworth 2011 graduate and 4x All-State and 2x State Champion from Holly placed Second at his Conference Finals yesterday 3/09.  He place 2nd behind perhaps the best wrestler in the nation Kyle Dake of Cornell.  Dake is a 3x NCAA Champion and currently ranked #1 at 165 lbs.
Josh was seeded 7th going into the EIWA Tournament.  Houldsworth opened the EIWA Championships with a great win, upsetting the second-seeded Corey Lear, 10-3. Bucknell's Lear advanced past Lehigh's Benjamen Haas in the opening round, but did not bring the same intensity to his match against Houldsworth. Houldsworth, also a junior for Columbia, maintained control of the match throughout to secure the win. 
The semifinals of the 165-pound bracket featured a rematch of a Northeast Duals bout in which Nicholas Visicaro from Rutgers (the sixth seed) defeated Houldsworth, 4-3. This time around it would be Houldsworth who would earn the win, downing Visicaro with a 6-2 decision. 
Houldsworth who lost to Dake by fall earlier in the season, improved on the rematch and lost not by fall but by major decision.  
By placing top 3 at his weight Houldsworth Qualifies for the Division 1 NCAA Championships in Des Moines, Iowa from March 21-23.  
Josh is Hollys second wrestler to do so at the D1 level since Paul Mc Devitt (1989) who wrestled for Easter Michigan 1990-1993 but he is our very first to earn a birth at the NCAA Championship.  

Holly's Boys' Bowling Coach Fred Walz was chosen by his counterparts in the Flint Metro League as the Coach of the Year.  Coach Walz was instrumental in getting bowling to be considered a varsity sport at HHS and has served in the capacity of head girls or head boys coach for a number of years.  Holly is lucky to have Coach Walz at the helm.  Congratulations Coach...well deserved.

Andrew Anderson not only lead our boys bowling team in the MHSAA regional tournament but lead all teams and earned the title Regional Champion! His fantastic scores for the day were: 191, 229, 258, 197, 226 and 258. Andrew will compete in the MHSAA state finals next weekend. Good luck Andrew!
