EL DORADO — El Dorado had too many weapons offensively for Siloam Springs to handle.
The Class 6A No. 2 Wildcats got behind the Panthers’ defense for several big plays in the first half and rolled to a victory at Memorial Stadium.
El Dorado senior quarterback Darius Holly proved to be a problem with both his legs and his arm, and he did most of it in the first half.
Holly rushed for 63 yards on 4 carries on the Wildcats’ opening drive — his only rushing totals on the night — and completed all 7 of his passes for 235 yards and 3 touchdowns.
