GAME STORY: Jim Ned boys lock up district title with tough win at Wall

WALL — With a chance to lock up the District 6-3A title on the line, the Jim Ned Indians had to clear a familiar hurdle to get there — their archrival Wall on the Hawks’ home floor.  

Wyatt Nickson scored 25 points and Dean Guffey tossed in nine more to lead Jim Ned (23-9, 11-1) which overcame a fourth-quarter Wall rally to get a 58-49 win. 

Led by Paxton Brake with 18 points and Lane Stansberry with 11, the Hawks slipped to 17-12 and 8-3.
