At Potlatch
On Saturday, Jan. 11, Prairie outscored the Potlatch Loggers 83-36 at Potlatch in what we believe is the Lady Pirates highest point total since their head coach was playing.
Prairie had back-to-back games of 86 and 85 points back in the 1991-92 season and we can’t remember a scoring outburst like that since.

Potlatch rallied somewhat but Prairie still led 22-10 by the end of the quarter.
Potlatch committed just 3 turnovers in the quarter but was just 3 for 14 from the field while Prairie was 8 for 21 and dominated on the glass with 19 rebounds to just 5 for Potlatch. 
Schumacher added 8 points in the second quarter and had a double-double by halftime as she had 15 points and 11 rebounds in just the first half.
Prairie led 38-21 at halftime.
Then came the third quarter and Prairie put together one of the most dominant quarters in their history and that includes 8 state titles and 25 state tournament appearances. Prairie put up an amazing 36 points on 15 for 26 shooting (58%) while limiting Potlatch to just 5 points and forcing 10 turnovers. Prairie also continued to dominate on the glass to the tune of a 15-2 margin in the quarter. Ulmer scored 10 points in the quarter while Hailey Danly scored 7 and Holthaus and Schumacher added 6 each. Prairie nearly doubled their entire first half output as they took a 74-26 lead into the fourth quarter.
If not for the running clock rule with a 30 or more point lead, Prairie might have set a new team scoring record as that rule wasn’t around in the early 90’s.
Schumacher wound up scoring 23 points with 15 rebounds while Ulmer scored 18 with 19 rebounds and 4 assists.
Danly also hit double figures with 10 points while Wilson scored 9, Shayla VonBargen 8, Holthaus 6, Uhlenkott 5 and Wemhoff and Schmidt 2 each.
