Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 87-46, which was the final score in Coolidge's tilt against Valley Christian on Wednesday. The defeat continues a trend for the Bears in their matchups with the Trojans: they've now lost four in a row.

Holbrook came up short against Coolidge in their previous matchup back in February of 2022, falling 67-57.
