The Panthers won the game 55-21 thanks to their defense.
“One of our best defensive performances of the year, even though we were missing some guys,” Coach Lyndon Cook said. “Had some players step up and play more minutes than they normally do and was really proud of how we defended as a unit.”
Kile Thurman led the team scoring 24 points while Tyler Cook had 13 points. Cade Steven led the team with seven assists while adding 11 points and Logan Brawner grabbed 16 rebounds.

Prairie Valley
The Prairie Valley Bulldogs lost to Midway on the road Friday.

Isaac Yeargin led the team with 13 points and Tyler Winkler was second with 11 points. Konner Ritchie led the team with 11 rebounds.

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.
