Lorenz keys Prairie comeback

Mon - 24 Feb Written by Tom Fruehling

Prairie's Mitch Lorenz admitted he didn't do much for most of the game Monday night against Marshalltown except make four fouls and miss his first four shots.

With his team on the ropes, though, he came to and came through.

In the last four minutes, the junior forward canned one 3-pointer to put the Hawks ahead, hit another to extend the lead to five, pulled down three crucial rebounds and sank two free throws to ice a 70-59 Prairie win that was much closer than the score indicated.

“I'd call it redemption, for sure,” Lorenz said of his fast finish following a slow start in the Class 4A substate opening round game at Prairie.

“My teammates trusted me, made some screens and got me the ball. It felt great when that first one went down. I think it kind of rallied our team.”

Indians lick CPU in district opener

Mon - 24 Feb Written by Jim Ecker

The Marion Indians are not kidding themselves about making the Class 3A state basketball tournament this year, but there's no harm in dreaming.

Marion breezed past Center Point-Urbana, 64-47, in the opening round of the playoffs Monday night at the Xavier High School gym, but that was the easy part.

Now the Indians (10-12) have a date in the district finals Thursday night against the Xavier Saints, a dangerous team that faced a steady diet of Class 4A competition in the Mississippi Valley Conference this season. And if the Indians somehow upset the Saints, they'll probably have to face top-ranked Dubuque Wahlert in the substate finals next Monday.

Saints double the score on Vinton

Mon - 24 Feb Written by Jim Ecker

The Xavier Saints enjoyed their initial foray into the Class 3A district basketball tournament Monday night with an easy 64-32 victory over Vinton-Shellsburg.

The Saints competed at the Class 4A level in recent years and played mostly a 4A schedule this season in the Mississippi Valley Conference, but their enrollment put them in Class 3A this year for the postseason.

So far, so good, but the Saints (14-8) suspect it will get tougher Thursday night when they meet the scrappy Marion Indians (10-12) at the Linn-Mar gym.

J-Hawks tipped by PV, 47-45

Mon - 24 Feb Written by Metro Sports Report

BETTENDORF - Ryan Spelhaug's tip-in at the buzzer lifted Pleasant Valley past Jefferson, 47-45, Monday night at Pleasant Valley.

Jefferson erased a 10-point halftime deficit and grabbed the lead in the fourth quarter, but the J-Hawks' bid for an upset in the Class 4A substate quarterfinals fell a bucket short.

Will Carius, a 6-foot-5 sophomore, scored 22 points to lead Pleasant Valley (14-8). Spelhaug added 12 points, including a putback of Carius' off-balance shot to win the game.
