Pirates are 1-1 on the week
The Prairie Lady Pirates went up against the top and the bottom of the White Pine League Division 1 this past week, getting pounded by Lapwai 46-84 Thursday, Jan. 22 at Cottonwood and then winning big at Kamiah Friday, Jan. 23 by a 61-5 score. Prairie is now locked into second place and will be the #2 seed into the District Tournament which gets underway Feb. 3 at the LCSC Activity Center in Lewiston. This year the top two teams at District advance directly to state while the third place team has to win a pair of play-in games to get there. 
Lapwai scored the next 5 points though to take their first lead. The lead changed hands 6 more times during the opening quarter with Prairie taking a 15-12 lead after a steal and drive for a lay-up by Krystin Uhlenkott. Lapwai tied it on a 3-pointer and then took the lead with a basket. Prairie twice came back to tie at 17 on a lay-up by Shayla VonBargen and at 19 on a basket by Uhlenkott. That would be it for Prairie though as Lapwai finished the first quarter with a 0-9 run to take a 19-28 lead. Prairie managed to get the lead down to 7 at 30-37 after a steal by Uhlenkott with 3:05 left but she then picked up her third foul and Lapwai wound up ending the half with a 2-12 run for a 32-49 halftime lead. Lapwai then started the second half with a 0-11 run and the rout was on. The Wildcats led 42-69 after three quarters and with 7:12 left in the game made it a 30-point lead that put the game into running clock mode. Prairie managed just a 3-pointer by VonBargen in the final 7 minutes as Lapwai continued to pull away. Prairie went into the game with emphasis on taking care of the ball but you just can’t duplicate in practice the quick hands and ball-hawking skills Lapwai has. Prairie wasn’t at their best while Lapwai played about as well as they could play. They wound up forcing 30 turnovers from Prairie. Uhlenkott scored 12 to lead Prairie with Kayla Schumacher adding 10. VonBargen scored 9, Danly 6, Uptmor 4, Kylie Tidwell 3 and Angela Wemhoff 2. Lapwai had 4 players in double figures led by Iris Domebo with 23 while Shiniah Holt scored 15 on 6 for 7 shooting including 3 for 3 from 3-point range. Lapwai also outrebounded Prairie 30-34. Schumacher had 9 to lead Prairie. VonBargen and Uhlenkott had 3 steals each while Danly had 2 assists. Prairie was 15 for 39 from the field, 38%, and 15 for 25 at the line, 60%. Lapwai was 35 for 66 from the field, 53%, and 8 for 9 at the line, 89%.  Lapwai
also won the JV game 46-57.
Prairie jumped out to a 6-2 lead with Sarah Seubert scoring 4 and Kylie Tidwell 2 but Lapwai came back to take an 8-10 lead by the end of the first quarter. A 0-12 run by Lapwai in the second quarter put them in control of the game as they led 18-30 by halftime. Prairie scored the first 6 points of the second half to get the lead down to 6 at 24-30 but they couldn’t get any closer. They trailed 29-39 after 3 quarters. Leah Higgins wound up as the JV’s leading scorer with 12 points with Seubert scoring 11. Josie Peery scored 8, Tidwell and Ally Sonnen 4 each, Sierra Latimer, Sydney Bruner and Delaney Uhlenkott 2 each and Talyss Lustig 1.

The loss to Lapwai was Prairie’s first home loss since Jan. 17, 2013 against Grangeville. They had won 17 consecutive home games. It is the first varsity home loss of any kind by a Prairie team since the boys team lost to Genesee on Jan. 24 of that same year. The boys are riding a 15 game home winning streak and the volleyball team a 20-match win streak with their last home loss coming to Genesee on Sept. 11, 2012.

Game 2 features #3 seed Genesee against the Troy-Kamiah play-in game winner and will be played Tuesday, Feb. 2 at 8:15 p.m. If Prairie should win Wednesday they would clinch a trip to state and advance to the championship game, likely against Lapwai, on Friday, Feb. 13 at 7:30 p.m. A loss puts them into a 5:45 p.m. game on Friday, Feb. 6 and would lead to having to win 4 straight games to advance to state.
