Prairie hosts tournament Prairie 5th /6th grade boys and girls hosted a 20-team basketball tournament here in Cottonwood this past weekend, March 3rd and 4th. 
With the help of many volunteers: parents, relatives, friends, and student body members, Prairie kept all three Cottonwood gymnasiums full of activity. In the 5th grade girls’ division Prairie took 2nd and 3rd place, coached by Mike Kaschmitter who celebrated his birthday Saturday getting ever-so-close to that ½ century mark. The 6th grade girls, coached by Michelle Schaeffer, walked away with 2nd place after four close games with Genesee and Grangeville. In the boys’ division Prairie 5th divided into two separate teams, coached by Mike VanderPas and Kevin Chaffee, taking 2nd and 3rd places. The 6th grade boys, coached by Dina Frei and Rusty Lorentz, took 4th place over Craigmont. The 8th grade boys, coached by Roger Holthaus, took 1st place. All of the players played a lot of ball and had a great learning experience! A HUUUGE “Thank-You” to all of the coaches, score-keepers, concession stand workers, officials, clock keepers, gate keepers, parents, Cash & Carry, and Riener’s Grocery, for making this tournament a huge success and raising $3,000 to help purchase new jerseys and get these teams to other tournaments.
