SAN ANTONIO — It took the San Saba Lady Dillos the better part of three quarters to finally find the range in Thursday’s Class 2A Division I state title game with Nocona. And when they did, they captured the momentum and cut an 18-point deficit to six by the 6:30 mark of the fourth quarter.
Then it happened.
Almost as if someone had flicked a switch, Nocona recaptured the initiative with seven unanswered points and suddenly a six-point lead turned to 13 in under a minute, eventually leading to a 54-37 win for NHS in the Alamodome.
