Girls basketball: Prairie 78, W.F. West 50

The Falcons cruised from the start and continue their hot outside team shooting hitting 14 3-pointers in a nonleague win over the defending 2A state champions on the road.

Six different Falcons hit a 3-pointer.

“They have no fear,” Prairie coach Hala Corral said of her team’s 3-point shooting. “They’re confident the ball is going in.”

As impressive as Prairie’s shoot was, Corral was equally pleased with her team’s passing.

Prairie jumped out to a 22-6 first-half lead and led 42-26 at halftime.

Cassidy Gardner had a game-best 22 points including five made 3-pointers. Kendyl Carson added 13 and Alli Corral had 12.
