Saints put the clamps on Prairie girls
Xavier Coach Tom Lilly said before Friday night's girls basketball game that he wanted to score at least one more point than Prairie.
He didn't say how many points that might be, but it turned out it didn't have to be many.
No. 11 Xavier jumped off to a 19-1 lead and cruised past Prairie, 43-14, at the Saints gym.
Xavier (11-3, 7-3 MVC) shutout Prairie (3-9, 2-7) in the first quarter. The Hawks did not score until freshman Maddie Dellamuth hit the second of two free throws with 1:57 left in the second quarter. MacKenzie Blaha's 3-pointer with 25 second left accounted for Prairie's other first-half points. Xavier held a 19-4 lead at halftime.
