If Holly Hill Academy wanted to avenge their loss from the last time they played Cross, they should've done a better job of containing Genesis Wilson. The Cross Stingrays really took it to the Holly Hill Academy Raiders for the full four quarters, racking up a 65-29 victory thanks in part to Wilson, who went 8-for-15 en route to 22 points in addition to seven assists and six steals. She has been hot for a while, having posted two or more steals the last 11 times she's played.

The team also got some help courtesy of Ryan Mayers, who dropped a double-double with ten points and ten boards. She also grabbed seven steals, which is notable because Cross is undefeated when she posts at least five steals, but 6-10 otherwise.

Despite the defeat, Holly Hill Academy had strong showings from Milly Kate Prescott, who posted 12 points and six rebounds, and Essie Wolpert, who had no points and eight boards.

Cross is on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven matches, which provided a massive bump to their 15-10 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 57.0 points over those games.
