The Holy Cross Indians ran the girls basketball gauntlet this week and came out unscathed.
On Thursday, the Indians upset previously undefeated Holmes and then on Saturday emerged victorious at home after a double overtime battle with Highlands, a team that has now lost just twice on the season.
The game got off to a fast start before both teams started to struggle to find the basket. The Bluebirds jetted out to a 10-0 lead and the Indians had just two points by the end of the first quarter.
By halftime, Highlands led 23-14.
In the second half, Highlands had trouble scoring. Holy Cross outscored the Bluebirds 14-2 in the third quarter, taking their first lead of the game.
The fourth quarter featured some clutch three-point shooting from both sides that put the game into overtime with a tie score of 35.
