turn out for PHS boys basketball
Twenty-one players have turned out for the Prairie boys basketball team which will play its first game next Tuesday, Nov. 29 at Grangeville.  The
varsity and JV will each have 11 players with one player listed as on both
rosters.
The Pirates should be a solid contender this year thanks to 5 returning players who saw a lot of playing time last year. They are seniors Seth Crane, Mat Forsmann and Sean Daly and juniors Cory Schaeffer and Ryan Daly. J.D. Riener, a junior, also saw significant playing time in District tournament last year. Sophomore Josh Gabica, a transfer from Middleton will see a lot of time at point guard if you go by the Pirates play at the Jamboree in Kooskia Monday, Nov. 21. A player who looks to be much improved over last year, based on Jamboree action, is senior Chris Schumacher. Rounding out the varsity squad are seniors Sam Forsmann and Jared Nau and junior Jake Holthaus. Coach Jerry Uhling appears to have some needed depth this year on the squad, something that was in very short supply last year. Troy, Lapwai, Genesee and Nezperce again look to be the teams to beat with the Pirates giving Nezperce a tough battle at the Jamboree. On the JV squad under new coach Joe Baerlocher will be juniors Holthaus, Ben Forsmann, Nate Kaschmitter, Daniel Sigler and exchange student Pero Jolevski, sophomore exchange student Pedro Sato, and freshmen Kyle Daly, Eric Daly, Ronnie Chandler, Tyler Forsmann and Steven Baerlocher. Pirates play at jamboree The Prairie Pirates started off their season at a  Jamboree
at Kooskia Monday, Nov. 21.
They opened against C.V. and raced out at a 23-14 lead at the break and finished with a 38-24 win. Teams played two 12 minute halves with a running clock. Next they faced Nezperce and took a 16-9 lead at the break but couldn’t hold it as Nezperce came back to claim a 19-22 win. With no down time in between they next faced Culdesac and the tough battle against Nezperce took its toll as Culdesac led 2-3 at the break. Prairie came back though in the second period to claim an 11-10 win. The Pirates first regular season game is next Tuesday, Nov. 29 at Grangeville.
