MANCHESTER – The unknown can be scary, and it was doubly so for the Hollis Brookline High School girls basketball team going into Friday night’s Division II championship game.
Not only were the No. 3 Cavaliers facing a team they didn’t see during the regular season, but No. 13 John Stark hadn’t been playing like a team that had a .500 record going into the playoffs.
And while the Generals gave HB a scare, coming back from a 16-point deficit to take the lead in the third quarter, the Cavs focused on playing their game.
After regrouping before the end of the third, HB finished the game on a 10-1 run to come away with a 54-43 win over the Generals at Southern New Hampshire University. The title is the first in program history, after finishing second a year ago, and is the first for long-time coach Bob Murphy.
