Pirates are now 9-0
The Prairie Lady Pirates improved to 9-0 on the season with 3 more wins last week. On Tuesday, Dec. 6 they edged Moscow 41-37 at Bear Den in Moscow. On Thursday, Dec. 8 they won 59-27 at Kamiah then on Saturday, Dec. 10 they held off Troy 46-35 at Cottonwood. Prairie led 15-10 at the end of the first quarter and 22-18 at the half. They took a 33-25 lead into the fourth quarter. Moscow pulled within 2 points with 30 seconds left when 5’11” post Gracey Meyer stole an inbounds pass and scored a layup. The Bears got the ball back and had the ball out of bounds under their basket with 10 seconds left. Coach Lori Mader figured Meyer was likely to get the ball and had her defenders double-team her as soon as she got the pass. That forced an errant shot and Prairie wound up getting the rebound. Jordyn Higgins then got fouled and made both free throws with 4 seconds left to seal it. Angela Wemhoff wound up leading Prairie in scoring with 14 points. Josie Peery scored 8, Jordyn Higgins 7, Kylie Tidwell 6, India Peery 3, Chaye Uptmor 2 and Sydney Bruner 1. Prairie’s JV team also had their closest game of the season so far, beating Moscow 35-29.
