GAME STORY: Nocona races to big lead then holds off Cisco rally to advance to regional semifinals

GRAHAM — If one were to rely on the “eyeball test” prior to Tuesday’s Region II-2A girls quarterfinal between 15th-ranked Cisco and No. 9 Nocona, one may have surmised that a far bigger Cisco team would be favored to eliminate the Lady Indians. 

It didn’t turn out that way. 

Utilizing a lineup with most of its players standing 5-foot-8 or smaller, the Lady Indians outquicked and outran their bigger counterparts to eliminate the Lady Loboes 56-48 at the Graham High School Gym.
