Pirates win twice
The Prairie Lady Pirates won a pair of games this past week, edging Moscow in overtime 49-46 at Cottonwood on Tuesday, Jan. 10 and then winning a league game at Genesee Saturday, Jan. 14 by a score of 59-20. Moscow scored the first 5 points but then Prairie closed out the first quarter with an 18-2 run. 
Chaye Uptmor got the scoring started then Angela Wemhoff scored a pair of driving lay-ups that gave Prairie their first lead. A free throw by Uptmor made it 7-5 but Moscow tied it with a basket. A 3 by Kylie Tidwell put Prairie back on top and Wemhoff added another 6 points in the quarter and Jordyn Higgins scored a baskets as Prairie took an 18-7 lead. A 3-pointer each by Uptmor and Tidwell put Prairie up by 13 at 24-11 in the second quarter. After a Moscow basket Tidwell scored on a drive to the hoop then stole the inbounds pass and scored another layup to make it 28-13. The scoring pace slowed considerably over the final 3:40 of the half as each team scored a pair of free throws, 2 by Moscow’s Gracey Meyer and 2 by Prairie’s Leah Higgins. Those were Meyer’s only 2 points of the first half as Syndey Bruner did a good job of denying her the ball. Prairie led 30-15 at the half. The second half was a different story for Meyer as she scored 8 in the third quarter but was nearly matched by Bruner who scored 6. Moscow cut into the lead but still trailed by 12 at 41-29. Moscow scored the first 7 points of the fourth quarter with 4 of those by Meyer at the line. Prairie scored their only point of the quarter with 3:00 left when Wemhoff made the first of 2 free throws. Prairie was 0 for 15 from the field in the quarter, with many of those shots being lay-ups, and 1 for 7 at the line. Meyer tied the game at 42-42 with a basket with 36 seconds left. Prairie had a chance to end it in regulation but couldn’t get a shot off. In overtime Meyer caught a pass near the lane and turned right into a Prairie defender, breaking her nose in the process. She left the game and wouldn’t return after scoring 16 seconds half points which included 8 for 8 at the line. Soon after Prairie took the lead on a free throw by Leah Higgins. Moscow answered with a basket to make it 43-44, their first lead into 4-5 in the first quarter. Wemhoff put Prairie back on top with a driving lay-up. About a minute later Tidwell scored one of those no-no-no, yes 3-pointers on a feed from Jordyn Higgins that put Prairie up by 4 with 55 seconds left. Tidwell added a free throw 15 seconds later to make it 49-44. Moscow got back within 3 with 12 seconds left but Prairie was then able to run out the clock.
