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.
