Coming into the Jan. 30 District 9-2A battle between Nocona and Windthorst at Indian Gym, most fans expected a repeat performance of the first meeting, which the Indians won in overtime.
The Trojans had other ideas.
Playing a very aggressive style from the get-go, Windthorst took control early by using 82% shooting from the field to take a 15-point lead after one quarter. It would prove to be the difference in a 61-48 win over the Indians before a packed house.
Both teams are now 6-2 in district (Nocona 27-4 overall, Windthorst 20-6).

In the Jan. 31 battle between the boys basketball teams of Bowie and City View, the host Rabbits hung with the District 7-3A leaders for nearly a half but the Mustangs used their athleticism and speed to pull away in the second half of a 71-58 win.
Bowie is now 1-7 in district and 11-18 overall with City View goes to 7-1 and 15-6. Bowie Coach Ryan Dykes said his squad played hard for a while but needs to put together four quarters.
“I liked our start, our intensity from the tip,” Dykes said. “We did a good job rotating defensively and that seemed to rattle them early.”

Sy Parker wanted to celebrate her 16th birthday in a big way.
The Nocona sophomore did just that, pacing a big first quarter for the Lady Indians with 17 points and six rebounds. The hosts fed off of that and would end up cruising over Windthorst, 61-23 Friday afternoon.
Nocona ran its record to 22-7 and 8-1 in District 9-2A while Windthorst is now 12-12 and 6-3 in district. Lady Indian Coach Kyle Spitzer’s pregame want of playing fast came to fruition.
“We like to push the pace and we did that, most notably Sy,” Spitzer said. “When (Windthorst) went into a zone (defense), it slowed us down a bit.”
