HIGH SCHOOL BOYS BASKETBALL: Nocona, Bellevue to compete for 3rd
The Nocona High School boys’ basketball team experienced differing offensive outputs in a win and loss at the Windthorst Holiday Classic on Monday.
Nocona opened up tournament play with a convincing 92-53 victory over Alvord, which included an eye-popping 31-point quarter.
Then, in the championship bracket semifinals, Nocona suffered its third loss of the season to Windthorst – this time by a score of 56-48.
Like in the Midwestern State University Classic game on Dec. 20 at Wichita Falls, both Nocona and Windthorst were knotted up with less than two minutes to play.
And, once again, the Trojans got the better of the Indians down the stretch.
Hill was the lone Indian to score in double figures in the loss to Windthorst, putting in 25 points including 6-of-10 from the free-throw line. Jaxon Phipps contributed nine points.
Nocona stands at 7-7 on the season. The Indians played Bellevue in the third-place game on Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 p.m.

2024 HS sports year in review: Bellevue
The Bellevue basketball teams both played in the playoffs for the first time in several years. The Lady Eagles finished fourth in the district to qualify after missing the previous season. In the bi-district round, Bellevue had to play the eventual state champs Newcastle.
The Eagles also finished fourth, though they played Saint Jo in a play-in game for third place. Bellevue then had to play state-ranked Graford in the bi-district round before ending its season.
The spring season saw Bellevue bring back its baseball program after many years.
While the team struggled during its initial season, it is a step in the first step for a program that hopes to compete well in the near future. In golf, the Lady Eagles ended up winning the district title to qualify for the regional tournament.
In the fall, both of Bellevue’s cross country teams finished second at district and qualified for regionals.
There, Mattie Broussard was able to qualify for the state meet individually after winning the regional title.
At state, Broussard came in ninth place to earn a medal.
