The Prairie Pirates won a pair of
league games this past week. On Thursday, Jan. 27, they rallied from a

The Pirates got off to a rocky start in the game as they fell behind 9-13 after one quarter and 23-34 at halftime. Some of that may be in part due to not having point guard Kyle Schwartz who was out with a knee injury. Wyatt Ross had to take over point guard duties/ The Pirates made some adjustments at halftime and came out and outscored the Rams 18-9 in the third quarter to cut the lead to just 2 at 41-43. They took the lead early in the fourth quarter and outscored the Rams 17-10 to pull out a 58-53 win. Lee Forsmann led the team with 21 points and 12 rebounds. Zach Rambo added 20 points with Lane Schumacher scoring 11 and Wyatt Ross, Shane Hanson and Morgan Poxleitner had 2 points each. Prairie’s C team lost a 2-quarter game to the Rams’ JV 12-20.

The first meeting at Potlatch was
just a 4-point win over the Loggers. This time around it started out
like it would be another close game then the Pirates clamped on defense
and pulled away for a big win. The Pirates started out playing man defense full court and Potlatch was able to burn them for some transition baskets.

Potlatch got one of their transition baskets then added a putback for a 4-7 lead. Forsmann scored inside to make it 6-7. The Loggers then scored 5 straight for a 6-12 lead.

He rebounded his own missed shot and put it in to tie the game at 12-12. Hanson then scored a lay-up to give Prairie a 14-12 lead at the end of the quarter.
