Bobcats adapting to new roles as conference play heats up

Bailey Holle hasn’t had to play much point guard this year.

The senior started 19 games at the position last season before turning the reins over to sophomore Kennedy Taylor over the final 12. Holle’s since formed into Texas’ State’s go-to substitute, thriving in a combo guard role off the bench.

Holle functions as a shooting guard when she shares the court with Taylor, spotting up for deep range shots and serving as a secondary playmaker. The Austin native is averaging a career high 4.6 points, 2.5 assists per game and is hitting .356 percent from behind the arc — the second-highest mark on the team behind freshman guard Jessica Paz Y Puente.
