Nocona
The Nocona Lady Indians wrapped up their fifth straight district title in their wins on Friday and Saturday against teams sitting in second and third place.
The Lady Indians won dominantly against both Windthorst (55-34) and Seymour (62-22).
The icy conditions last week came at the worst time for Nocona heading into the week playing the two toughest teams in the district. Even with the Lady Indians picking up one-sided wins against both, coming into the game with limited practice time and the team’s routine disrupted was a good situation for Nocona to finally play flat.
Instead the Lady Indians just reaffirmed their dominance.
Traveling to Windthorst on Friday night, the Lady Trojans hung with Nocona for a quarter as the Lady Indians led only 18-12 after one.
Nocona’s defense then held Windthorst to only four points in the second quarter and the team was off to the races.
