The Lady Pirates suffered their first defeat of the season at Grangeville as the Idaho County Shootout was revived after a year off due to COVID-19.

Prairie trailed 12-15 after 1 quarter after trailing by 9 at 6-15.
Remacle scored a putback to open the second quarter and Lockett followed with 2 free throws to give Prairie the lead back. The two free throws came on a strange call where the referee signaled 2 free throws on the foul as if Lockett was in the act of shooting. Lockett wound up putting the ball in the hoop but it got waived off. Why would you waive off a basket but still award 2 free throws when it wasn’t yet double-bonus?
Schlader scored on a putback to came a 12-0 Prairie run and give the Pirates an 18-15 lead.
Grangeville scored to break the run but that turned out to be their only 2 points of the quarter.

Prairie coach Lori Mader said it shouldn’t have been called but even after the referees got together for a discussion they stuck with the call. Barger made both free throws to give Grangeville the lead. Grangeville then got a 3-pointer on the ensuing possession, essentially a 5-point swing.
A free throw by Schlader and a lay-up by Wemhoff tied the scored at 27 but another 3 by Grangeville put them back on top. Wemhoff added a free throw to make it 28-30 after 3 quarters.
