The Indians fell behind early behind a barrage of Mustang 3-pointers. City View made six 3-pointers and hopped out to a 19-7 lead in the first quarter.
Nocona responded in the second quarter scoring 21 points as the team did a better job getting to the free throw line. Unfortunately, the Mustang offense did not slow, scoring 23 points in the fast paced quarter
The Indians could not make up any ground and went into halftime trailing 42-28.
Nocona had some 3-pointers go in in the third quarter and scored 15 points, but just could not slow down City View at all.
The lead grew a little bit with the Indians needing a miracle down 63-43 heading into the fourth quarter.
The Mustangs seemed to get better as the game went on and never let up. City View scored a game high 27 points in the fourth quarter, thoroughly putting Nocona from any possibility of a comeback.
The Indians scored only one basket in the quarter, making the final score an ugly 90-46.
Ryder Oswald led the team with 10 points. Sam Davis and Landry McCasland each scored eight points.

Nocona got its new press box into place this week at Jack Crane Stadium. The old press box, which was in place for more than 60 years, was taken out in early June and moved to Indian Valley Raceway. The new press box was by the Southern Bleacher Company out of Graham. Athletic Director Black Crutsinger said they looked at a lot of press boxes and decided they liked the one at Lindsay High School and went with that model. Sean Hutson operated the crane from the Hurd Crane Service that put the press box up for Nocona.
