With the win Prairie improves to 4-0 on the season. The JV game was limited to 2 quarters due to lack of numbers for Kendrick. Despite an off shooting night the Prairie JVs still managed to win 26-16. The defense forcing 21 turnovers limited Kendrick to just 13 shot attempts while Prairie had 46 attempts. Kendrick hit nearly 62% of their shots but the sheer volume of shots for Prairie led to the win.

Kendrick came back to tie the score at 6-6 after making each of their first 3 shot attempts. Prairie then went on a 14-2 run that carried into the second quarter.
