The Lady Indians won with little trouble against the Lady Cats.
Nocona had little worry heading into the game against an Archer City team that failed to win a district game this season.
The Lady Indians wasted little time as they went up 29-8 after the first quarter. That would first quarter total would have been enough as Nocona’s defense limited the Lady Cats to single digits below eight points in the final three quarters.
The Lady Indians did not keep up the lightning pace on offense which was the only negative for Coach Kyle Spitzer.
“After the first quarter, it just seemed like our offense wasn’t clicking like it normally does,” Spitzer said. “It looked like we were thinking too much. Our defense was pretty solid all game, for the most part. Overall, the effort and the urgency were there. It’s always good to get a win on the road.”

Prairie Valley
The Prairie Valley Lady Bulldogs lost a tough game at home against state-ranked Slidell.
The Lady Greyhounds won 62-26 against the Lady Bulldogs.
It was a mismatch just like all of Slidell’s district games have been, which meant it was a game Prairie Valley just had to get through.
