Lady Pirates qualify for State They will play District 4 runner-up Murtaugh in the first round at State Thursday, Feb. 15 at 11:00 a.m. PST. District Championship Vs. Lapwai The District championship game against Lapwai is one the Lady Pirates would rather forget. Lapwai came out in full-court pressure and unlike the other two games this year, did not let up.  Even tougher than the full-court pressure was Lapwai’s half court defense which was aimed at not letting Lexi Schumacher get a good shot and collapsing on anyone who got the ball in the lane. Prairie didn’t score until the 2:48 mark when Sage Elven hit a turnaround shot in the low block. That was after Lapwai had built a 0-8 lead. Elven added a free throw and Kylie Schumacher a lay-up as Prairie trailed 5-11 at the end of the first quarter. Prairie was able to keep it close until the fourth quarter due to the fact that Lapwai wasn’t shooting much better than Prairie. In fact Prairie outscored Lapwai in the second quarter 6-4 as they closed within 4 by halftime, 11-15. Elven scored 2 free throws and a putback in the quarter while Kylie and Lexi Schumacher added a free throw each. Lapwai then opened the third quarter with a 3-pointer and built their lead to 10 at 11-21. Prairie then scored 7 straight points to get back into it at 18-21. Elven scored a basket and Kylie Schumacher converted a 3-point play. Lexi Schumacher added 2 free throws. Lapwai then closed out the quarter with a basket to break the run and take an 18-23 lead into the fourth quarter. Elven made a free throw to open the fourth quarter then Prairie went ice cold for 3:30 while Lapwai scored 6 straight to push their lead back to 10 at 19-29. Prairie never got closer than 8 the rest of the game. Elven and Lexi Schumacher each scored 10 to lead Prairie in scoring. Kylie Schumacher added 6 and Ellie Nuxoll scored the game’s final point.
