It was a new spin on her team’s pre-game rituals, and Mads Holland had a good feeling about it.

As the senior captain of the Jackson Hole High School Lady Broncs basketball team, Holland wanted to do whatever she could to snap a 79-game losing streak.

“Before every game, we all pray in the huddle,” Holland told Cowboy State Daily on Friday. “And then we all found this thing on Instagram.”

Mimicking the videos they’d seen Instagram, Holland and her teammates took off their sneakers in their home locker room before a game against Riverton on Feb. 20. They formed a circle around the sneaker pile and then blessed the shoes.
