A CONCURRENT RESOL UTION
To commend the Holden High School Lady Rockets on winning the Louisiana High School
Athletic Association Class B girls basketball championship.
WHEREAS, on Saturday, March 3, 2018, the Holden High School Lady Rockets
defeated the Anacoco High School Lady Indians to win the Louisiana High School Athletic
Association Class B girls basketball championship at the Rapides Parish Coliseum in
Alexandria, Louisiana; and
WHEREAS, the win gave the Lady Rockets their second title in three years, sixth
title overall, and the fifth title for head coach Pam Forbes; and

only just over thirty-three percent of their shots from the field and trailing most of the game,
all it took was one final shot by Jaycee Hughes to win; and
WHEREAS, back-to-back baskets by Taylor Forbes gave the Lady Rockets their first
lead early in the second quarter and Emma Hutchinson's jumper from the right baseline gave
them a 19-18 lead less than a minute before halftime; and
WHEREAS, Jaycee Hughes scored the final six points for the Lady Rockets and with
1:44 remaining, led the team to within one point with a bucket and a free throw; and
WHEREAS, she drove the baseline and banked in a layup with just over four seconds
remaining to give the top-seeded Holden High School Lady Rockets a 40-39 victory over
the Anacoco High School Lady Indians in the Class B title game; and
WHEREAS, Jaycee Hughes scored a game-high seventeen points on six of fourteen
shooting and was voted Most Valuable Player in the title game; and
WHEREAS, the members of the talented Holden High School Lady Rockets squad,
Amanda Fekete, Kaylee Hughes, Kaitlyn Kropog, Victoria Richardson, Shelby Forbes,
Taylor Forbes, Jaycee Hughes, Emma Hutchinson, Emily Stafford, Reanna Sheridan,
