Prairie High School - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Prairie boys fall in final seconds

Sat - 15 Feb Written by Waterloo Courier

WATERLOO - A loose ball bounded to a wide-open Lincoln Conrey and the Waterloo West junior's layup with two seconds left helped the Wahawks edge Cedar Rapids Prairie, 51-50, Friday at Siddens Gymnasium in a Mississippi Valley Conference game.

Waterloo West (8-10) overcame a poor start and an 18-point first-half deficit to win its third straight game. Prairie led 18-2 after the first quarter.

"It was good basketball in the second half and came down to the end," Conrey said. "I just found the ball and shot it up there. Luckily it went in."

After whittling their huge deficit to just three by halftime, 30-27, the Wahawks claimed their first lead at 38-37 with 4:01 left in the third quarter on a runner in the lane from Alex Landers. From that point on, there were six more lead changes.

Prairie pins Mason City for regional title

Wed - 12 Feb Written by Jim Ecker

There won't be any votes before the Prairie Hawks meet Linn-Mar in the opening round of the Class 3A state dual meet wrestling tournament in Des Moines next Wednesday.

If Coach Blake Williams tells his guys to back off and wait for the individual state tournament that starts next Thursday, that's what they'll do. And if decides to use his top lineup against Linn-Mar and aim for the title, they'll do that as well.

Prairie collected seven pins and squashed No.14 Mason City, 55-17, in the regional finals Wednesday night at Prairie to earn another trip to the state dual meet tournament next week.

The fourth-ranked Hawks (20-3) will face No.5 Linn-Mar (22-6) in the quarterfinals Wednesday at 9 a.m. at Wells Fargo Arena.
