Pirates win 2 of 3
The Prairie Lady Pirates won 2 of 3 games this past week, beating Nezperce in a non-league game and then splitting a pair of league games, losing at Lapwai and then winning at home against Potlatch. 
Much of the difference was the absence of Nezperce’s Aleesha Arnzen to injury as her hot shooting in the first game helped Nezperce take a halftime lead. This time around the Pirates clamped down defensively as they did in the second half of the first game. Nezperce was held to just 10 shot attempts in the first half, 5 each in the first two quarters. In the first quarter Brooke Schumacher opened the scoring with a basket from just inside the 3-point arc and added a lay-up after Nezperce had tied it. After Nezperce cut the lead to 4-3, Kayla Schumacher connected on 3 straight baskets and Callie Mader popped in a 3-pointer to make it 13-3. Another Nezperce free throw made it 13-4 at the quarter break. The Indians had opportunities at the line to make it closer but converted just 2 of 8 free throws in the quarter. Nezperce outscored Prairie 4-6 over the first 3 minutes of the second quarter but Prairie then went on an 8-0 run fueled mostly by Nezperce turnovers. Prairie led 30-16 at the half. Nezperce scored first in the third quarter but then missed their next 12 shots in the quarter . Tanna Schlader scored 5 straight points for Prairie and Keely Schmidt added a basket to give Prairie a 37-18 lead after 3 quarters. A 12-4 fourth quarter finished the Indians off.
