MartinsuitedupasaLadyConquistadorforOliveBranchHighSchooldur-ingherprepseason.

Bothhelped topropel their respective teams todominanceduring theirfinal varsity year with Hollimon leadingMelrose to a 37-4 and a state champion-ship. Martin led the LadyConquistadorsto20winsherfinalyearandfollowedherfamilytoNortheast.

Now, both are lending their basketballtalents to Ricky Ford’s Lady Tigers andDavidRobbins’Tigers, and have found ahome in the friendly confines of BonnerArnoldColiseum.

During the early part of the season,MartinhelpedleadtheLadyTigerstoa5-5overallmarkanda1-1recordintheNorthDivision entering the holiday break, butithasbeenathomewhereMartinandtheLadyTigershavefoundsuccess.

BeforeChristmas,Martin and theLadyTigerswent 4-1 at the friendlyconfinesofBonnerArnoldColiseum,whileHollimon’screwwasjustonewinoffthatrecordwhenheandtheTigersposteda3-2markathomeduringthe2010portionoftheschedule.

“Ihavetopracticehard,takemytimeandmakegooddecisions,”Martin

said.“Tobeagoodshooteryouhavetoconstantlyworkonit,”Hollimonsaid.

“Youhavetoworkoniteveryday…andmakesureyoufollow-througheachtime.”

ForHollimon, there has been an adjustment to the speed of the game.Martin,ontheotherhandhashadtogetusedtothestyleofthecollegegame.

“It isadifferentpace,”Hollimonsaid.“Youhave to think three-to-fourstepsaheadandbeprepared.”

“Thespeed,thecompetitionisalldifferent,”Martinsaid.“Theshotclockmostly.”

However, as both gain experience in the competitiveMississippiAsso-ciationofCommunityand JuniorColleges (MACJC)NorthDivision, theirrespectiveindividualtalentsadjustthemselvestothegameathand.

Hollimonbelievesdefenseisthekeytoagoodoffenseandhasformedhisgamearoundwhattheopposingdefenseisdoingtostophim.

“It is reallybasedonhow thedefenseisplaying,”Hollimonsaid.“Eitherpullupandtakeaquickshotoruseexperienceandtechnique.”

While Hollimon is still trying to readan opponent’s defense on the move, it isthefreshman’sowndefensethathasledtopointsfortheTigers.

“Wehavetoplaydefense.Defensewinschampionships.”Hollimon said. “Defenseturns intooffense.Defense is abighonortome.”

Martin wants to show the league thatshe is more than just a 5-4 guard. ThefreshmanfromOliveBranchwantstobealeaderonthefloorandthinksthatwithexperience,theleadershipcapabilitiesneededtoguidetheLadyTigerswillcome.
