The Nocona Indians beat Lindsay by a good margin on Tuesday in their final non-district game of the season.
The Indians won easily 48-26 against the Knights.
Nocona was hoping to get a good, clean win before heading into district play and was able to do so against Lindsay.
The Indians held the Knights under 10 points all four quarter in the game as Coach Brody Wilson thought the team rebounded well to prevent extra shot attempts.

Still, Nocona scored enough to get the easy win.
Brady McCasland led the team with 18 points while Javier Gaytan was second with eight points and Ryder Oswald scored seven.

The Prairie Valley Bulldogs were able to win on the road at Gold-Burg on Tuesday night.
