Stuart Cramer’s Oshauna Holland becomes NC’s all-time leading girls’ basketball scorer
Stuart W. Cramer guard O’Shauna Holland now has one big load lifted off her shoulders, and is now a step closer to achieving another goal.
Holland became the state’s all-time leading scorer in leading the Storm to a 66-24 blowout victory over Newton’s Fred T. Foard High on Saturday in the third round of the NCHSAA 4A playoffs.
The 5-foot-7 senior, a Wake Forest signee and the reigning Charlotte Observer player of the year, scored a game-high 34 points for Stuart W. Cramer (28-1), giving her a four-year total of 3,232 points (and counting).
That broke the state women’s scoring record of 3,225 points, held for the last 37 years by Clinton High’s Danyel Parker, who scored 3,225 points from 1986-1989.
“It was a lot of weight, but I’m just so super excited,” Holland said after the game, which was played under a running clock for most of the second half after Stuart W. Cramer pulled ahead by 35 points. “I’m glad it’s over, and now I can extend it.”
And now she’s in reach of the state’s all-time record — men or women — of 3,307 points, set by Eastern Alamance’s Jameson Curry from 2000-2004. Holland is just 76 points from breaking that mark; with potentially three more games to play this season, it’s easily reachable.
“I didn’t expect anything different from O’Shauna,” said Stuart W. Cramer head coach Carey Pohlman. “She’s always ready to play, and it seems she always steps up her game, even in the playoffs. That’s no surprise that she got the record.
“I’m just glad she’s on our side, and that I get to coach her every day.”
That would help her achieve that second goal — the NCHSAA 4A championship, which eluded the Storm last year after losing to Western Alamance 76-58 in the 3A final.
“For sure, I definitely think we can,” Holland said. “It’s great that we’ve already been in that position, already played in that state (championship) game. It’s just time. Time will tell, but I think we’ll definitely get our rings.”
Said Pohlman: “Last year, we had a shot, and coming up short by one game was really disappointing. We’ve had a long offseason to think about it, so that’s been the goal all year. We’re going to keep working toward it.”
After scoring 22 points in the first half, Holland struggled to make shots in the third quarter — she was 1 for 7 from the field, including four straight missed 3-pointers. But she made up for that by going 5 of 6 on free throws, including the record-tying and record-setting shots.
Holland tied Parker’s record with 1:24 left in the third quarter when she made the first of two free throws, but missed the second. It wasn’t until the final seconds of the period that she broke (and began to extend) the record with two more free throws.
“I went on a little bit of a run there” in the second quarter, scoring 15 points, Holland said, “so I was a little winded. So I tried to slow it down a little bit, get my team involved.”
Lilah Poulsen added 14 points for the Storm. Holland also finished with five rebounds, four assists and four steals.
Only two players scored for the Bears (16-11), led by 18 points from Addy Lael.
“Obviously, I’m pleased with the win,” Pohlman said. “But I’m just really proud of the team, because our defense was so great. That’s what they say — defense wins championships, and I felt we did a good job today.”
