Prairie girls bounce J-Hawks

In his second season with the vastly improved Prairie girls basketball team, Josh Bentley may have found the secret of coaching.

“When the shots are falling, it makes the coach look good,” he said Tuesday night after his near-flawless crew surprisingly throttled Jefferson, 57-31, at Prairie.

And it was no fluke that Prairie had a hot shooting night by hitting 22 of 50 (44 percent), according to star senior guard Olivia Usher.

"Defensively, we really came out ready to play,” she said. “When we’re playing good defense, it makes our offense work a lot better.”

In an almost perfect performance, Usher led the Hawks with 19 points, with eight of them coming in a 20-2 Prairie run after the score was tied 9-9.
