Adair 61, Tulsa Holland Hall 56

EDMOND — Tulsa Holland Hall had the best player on the court in Gabby Gregory, but Adair’s depth eventually won the day for the Warriors in the Class 3A quarterfinals on Thursday night.

No. 1 Adair built a 16-point lead, then weathered a huge rally by the Dutch to win 61-56 at Edmond Santa Fe High School. Adair (25-2) will face No. 11 Kingston (21-6) in Friday’s semifinals at State Fair Arena in Oklahoma City.

No. 9 Holland Hall (20-9) lost despite a yeoman’s performance by Gregory, a 6-foot junior post player who had 37 points, 22 rebounds and four steals while Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale watched from the stands.

Gregory had 23 of the Dutch’s 29 first-half points. A bucket by Joci Lake — the only other Holland Hall player to score in the first half, pulled the Dutch even at 26-26 with 2:13 left, but Adair seized control with a 16-3 run spanning the halves that included two 3-pointers by Jocee Winfield.

Adair led 52-36 after closing the third quarter on a 10-1 run, but Gregory had seven points in an 8-0 spurt by the Dutch to start the fourth quarter that cut the gap in half. Holland Hall pulled within 58-53 with 56.5 seconds left, but a key basket by sophomore Chasee Cooper with 44 seconds left and the Warriors closed the game out from there.

Autumn Hines led a balanced Adair attack with 14 points — all in the first half — while fellow sophomore Sophie Bagby had 12.
