Holmes is a gifted player who can take over a game with her scoring. She is one of the best pure shooters in the state. Her shot is effortless from long range. A leader on the court, the point guard walks the ball up the court. Holmes is very deliberate in her dribbling, slow but in control. If defenders get too close, her first step is lightning quick. She can get off a shot with little daylight. Holmes is great at taking you off the dribble and she can also catch and shoot. This is a primetime player who knows how to get to her spot on the court.
