Nocona gave Paradise all it could handle for more than one quarter, and the Lady Indians’ attack produced 51 points, but it wasn’t enough as the Lady Panthers triumphed 76-51.
Paradise stayed one game behind Bowie in the District 3A-9 standings with the win.
Nocona’s Emma Meekins fed Magye Fenoglio for a basket, giving Nocona a 19-15 lead at the end of one quarter.
Paradise took control of the proceedings in the second quarter as the Lady Panthers outscored Nocona 20-7 for a 35-26 halftime cushion.
By the end of three quarters, Paradise established a 57-36 bulge. Makenzie Franklin, who tallied 12 points for Nocona, cut the Lady Panther lead to 62-46 with 5:23 left in the fourth quarter. But that’s as close as the score would get the remainder of the way.
