Holly averaged 18.3 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocked shot per game, while shooting a remarkable 82.8 percent (24-for-29) from the floor and a perfect 7-for-7 from the foul line, as the Golden Flyers went 2-1 in three tight non-league games right before and right after Christmas. He was 5-for-5 from the floor, scoring 14 points and adding eight boards in a win over Randolph on Dec. 16. The next day. Holly exploded for a season-high 22 points on 11-of-13 shooting at Lynchburg. He continued his torrid pace on Dec. 30, recording his first collegiate double-double, scoring 19 points to go along with 10 boards in a win at Hartford.
