Prairie won four of five matches, but was ousted in the semifinals Saturday at the Linn-Mar Invitational volleyball tournament.

WATERLOO - The Linn-Mar Lions went into the final quarter of Friday night's football game at Memorial Stadium with a seven-point lead over Waterloo West.
They left Memorial Stadium with a 27-14 loss after giving up 20 unanswered points to Wahawks, who snapped a 15-game losing streak. Waterloo West (1-2, 1-0) had not won since Sept. 24, 2010, when it beat Waterloo East, 23-21.
Waterloo West junior Lance Dunn scored on runs of 23, 8, and 10 yards in the final 8 minutes to tilt things in favor of the Wahawks.
The Stephanie Jenks era in Metro cross country began with a bang Thursday at the Cedar Rapids Invitational.
Jenks, a freshman at Linn-Mar who is a nationally ranked triathlete, beat a strong field of older runners in the first varsity cross country race of her career.
Jenks covered the 4-kilometer course in 14 minutes, 26.71 seconds for a 16-second victory over Ashlynn Yokum of Iowa City West.
WATERLOO - Paige Broghammer and Lauren Dalecky won a pair of individual events Tuesday as the Linn-Mar Lions swam past Waterloo West and Decorah in a double-dual in Waterloo.
Broghammer claimed the 200 freestyle and 500 freestyle races. Dalecky won the 50 freestyle and 100 breaststroke.
Lauren Reynolds (200 IM), Alyssa Deuso (diving) and Lizzie Adams (100 free) also won races for the Lions.
Shannon Gorman of Cedar Rapids Washington won the 4,000-meter run at the Linn-Mar Cross Country Invitational Saturday morning.
Gorman covered the course at the Oak Ridge Middle School in Marion in 14 minutes, 39.53 seconds in the Junior/Senior division. Jefferson senior Michelle Zikes finished second in the division at 15:20.63.
Two of the best times Saturday were submitted by Linn-Mar runners in the Freshman/Sophomore race. Maddie Saville crossed the finish line in 14:58.44 and Amber Decker was clocked in 15:02.77, which would have put them second and third among the upperclassmen.
