The old adage concerning where it’s better to start or finish strong was answered by Nocona’s boys basketball team Feb. 24.
Both.
The Indians opened Class 2A bi-district play against Anson with a strong start and finish to move on in the postseason with a 70-31 win.
Nocona Coach Brody Wilson said the intensity shown early was a must.
“We knew we need to bring the intensity early tonight,” Wilson said. “In the playoffs you take nothing for granted.”

Bowie’s baseball team got out to an early lead in their ACS Tournament opener against Muenster Feb. 26 but the Hornets used timely hitting and took advantage of Jackrabbit miscues to post a 10-2, five-inning win.
Bowie Coach Jason McCoy said he was pleased with how his reserve players came through hitting wise but not much else.
“We didn’t locate our pitches well. We didn’t finish an inning well as they rallied with two outs. We didn’t hit the ball,” McCoy said. “Our reserves were the bright spot here.”
The Hornets had three hits in scoring a first inning run off Bowie pitcher Braylon Hardy but the Rabbits took advantage of Muenster miscues in the bottom of the inning.

Saint Jo took a one-point lead into the fourth quarter of its area round matchup with Avery Feb. 26 in Denison.
Avery put together its biggest offensive quarter of the game late and overtook the Panthers, ending their season with a 61-56 setback.
Saint Jo Coach Jacob Nockltonicksaid Avery just got hot when it counted.
“We came back from a 10-point deficit,” Nocktonick explained. “Fourth quarter rolled around and they just didn’t miss. They hit four 3-pointers in a row. They are a great team that just couldn’t miss.”
