Fortunately Lapwai wasn’t much better from the field as they were just 3 for 19 and led 7-8 at the end of the period. Lapwai opened the second quarter with a 2-8 run to take a 9-16 lead but a 3-pointer by Stephanie Gimmeson got things going for Prairie and they outscored Lapwai 10-4 the rest of the half while forcing numerous turnovers as Prairie took a 22-20 halftime. Tyler Workman’s putback with 21 seconds left gave Prairie the lead and they never gave it back.

Two free throws by Workman and a steal and drive for a lay-up by Keely Schmidt made it 35-27 but Lapwai quickly cut the lead back to 3 with 3:24 left to play.

Lady Pirates lose at Grangeville The Lady Pirates played well against Grangeville in the 1st and 4th quarters but a 1 for 22 shooting performance in the middle two periods doomed them to a 27-50 loss during the Idaho County Shootout Friday, Dec. 3 at Grangeville.

MaKayla Schaeffer scored a free throw then Megan Sigler stole the ball and drove the floor for a lay-up. Kendal Schumacher ended the scoring for the quarter with a lay-up to make it 8-10. Prairie wasn’t able to carry any of that momentum into the second quarter through as they went 0 for 11 from the field and their only score of the period was a free throw by Schumacher at the 2:41 mark. Grangeville didn’t shoot much better as they hit just 3 of 15 but managed to take a 9-20 lead by halftime.
